For heavily modded setups, modpacks, as well as for playing on external servers, I recommend LambDynamicLights or similar client-side mods instead.<br- For details, check this wiki page.

💡 Features

This data pack/mod brings dynamic lighting to Minecraft without any client-side requirements. Supported entities and items (like torches, glowstone, or enchanted gear), held or worn by players, mobs, or placed in item frames, will emit light using the light block) added in Snapshot 21w13a.

50+ supported vanilla items out of the box

Multiple light levels: 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15

Water-sensitive behavior with sounds for some items

Enchanted items glow by default (light level 6), with special cases for Fire Aspect, Riptide, Channeling (light level 9)

Amethyst-trimmed armor emits light

Mobs, falling blocks, and display entities can emit light if carrying a supported item

Curios API support for modded inventory slots See issue #76

Since this project is completely server-side, players joining a server with Dynamic Lights installed will not need to install anything on their end for it to work! However, you can still use the mod version on the client for single-player worlds only. Joining a server that does not have Dynamic Lights installed will have no effect.
