Dynamic Light Definitive

DynamicLight Update — Environment Lighting

This update expands DynamicLight beyond players, items, and mobs by introducing configurable lighting for blocks and plants found in the world.

Environment Lighting

World blocks can now emit configurable vanilla-style light.

dynamic_light:
  environment:
    enabled: true
    scan_chunk_loads: true
    chunks_per_tick: 1

    blocks:
      FIREFLY_BUSH: 4
      SPORE_BLOSSOM: 7
      FLOWERING_AZALEA: 5

Features

- Supports naturally generated and player-placed blocks. - Detects configured blocks when chunks are loaded. - Responds to block placement, breaking, growth and spreading. - Handles explosions, fire, block fading and piston movement. - Automatically removes invisible light sources when they are no longer needed. - Multiple nearby plants can safely share the same light source. - Environment lights are protected from the item, mob and player light cleanup systems. - Chunk scanning is distributed across ticks to reduce server impact. - Compatible with Paper and Folia scheduling.

Environment lighting illuminates the surrounding area. Emissive textures and bloom effects still depend on the player's resource pack or shaders.

Automatic Configuration Updates

Replacing the plugin JAR with a newer version will now automatically update the existing config.yml. The updater: - Adds newly introduced configuration options. - Preserves all customized values. - Keeps administrator-created sections. - Preserves YAML comments. - Runs during server startup and /dl reload. - Avoids overwriting the configuration if invalid YAML is detected. Server owners no longer need to delete or manually recreate their configuration file after installing an update.

Additional Improvements

- Unknown materials are safely ignored on older Minecraft versions. - Improved cleanup when chunks unload or the plugin is disabled. - Environment lights are included in active light statistics. - Improved compatibility between permanent environment lighting and dynamic entity lighting.
