Hi there! I really love this addon for its simplicity, however the fact that the light blocks start connecting to fences and cut off water streams is really starting to bother me. I looked at another dynamic light addon and it didn't do that. Could you try fixing it in yours?

🧡

Alien Edds July 28, 2025 at 5:52 pm

That bug isn't a thing anymore. Use the most recent version that requires the API to work.

Hi, I noticed that this addon does not work with your other addon more music discs, is this normal?

🧡

Alien Edds July 18, 2025 at 8:08 pm

It works fine with both from my testing

Hello, Alien Edds! Your add-on is awesome! But there is a problem when you have the torch in your hand, and you pass near some fence it connects towards the player. This happened to me in an abandoned mine. I really like your add-on because it is compatible with Actions and Stuff. Please check this issue.

Not possible to fix due to addon limitations

I understand, anyway. Thank you for your reply. 😊

🧡

Alien Edds July 19, 2025 at 12:55 pm

I fixed it by swapping to vanilla Light Blocks but it might cause other unforseen issues

🧡

ciuin May 17, 2025 at 5:41 pm

any way you could make it where the light block used to make the lights work not connect to glass or fences?

🧡

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 5:42 pm

Nope, bedrock limitation at the moment.

How brother? Btw is it compatible with other addons?
Does it use player.json?

🧡

Yash741 June 27, 2025 at 2:42 pm

Does it use player.json?
Can you remove the offhand torch item? Or make a subpack removing it?

🧡

RAP1538 May 17, 2025 at 6:35 am

Um, can you make resource pack only for the torch burning particle? I really like it

🧡

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 6:36 am

No, that's actions n stuff.

🧡

RAP1538 May 17, 2025 at 6:36 am

Nevermind, it's from A&S

did you record on a rock, why does the quality look like that

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 4:19 am

If you're talking about the gif, it's because I had to compress it a ton.

hola buenas noches hay un problema con el paquete de luz dinámica, ahora que salió la nueva actualización de minecraft,ya no funciona igual, la antorcha sólo ilumina con la mano derecha y no con la izquierda 😔de verdad espero vea mi comentario.

🧡

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 4:20 am

That is not the case, it works fine for me.

🧡

GardenerStinky May 10, 2025 at 5:25 pm

Can you make Glow Squids also have dynamic lights?

🧡

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 4:21 am

This was added in the latest update!

🧡

GamerBoiii2012 May 06, 2025 at 5:17 pm

Could you make an offhand mod that literally let's you offhand any item AND place them? I feel like if you can do this you can create an entirely offhand mod as well. Just don't use player.json I know it lags the game like crazy and yours doesn't use it so it's smooth af

🧡

Alien Edds May 17, 2025 at 4:22 am

Player.json doesn't lag the game by itself. People just don't use it because it makes it incompatible with other add-ons that use the same file.
Also no, I would if scripting could put items in the offhand but it can't.

🧡

Stagnant Water May 03, 2025 at 11:48 am

Question Why isn't the offhand working even if I downloaded the 1-3-1 or 1-3-0 offhand? I have tested them both, Ty.

🧡

Alien Edds May 03, 2025 at 1:00 pm

Offhand does work, gotta crouch 2x while only holding a light source item.

Though the "Offhand Torch" doesn't work as it has been deprecated.

Stagnant Water May 04, 2025 at 8:57 am

Is my version wrong or something because I'm on the latest version of Minecraft and the offhand is still not working tried crafting the offhand light and crouching 2x it still does not work am I missing something? Thank you.

🧡

Alien Edds May 05, 2025 at 3:04 pm

Something must be wrong on your end.
Gotta crouch twice within half of a second while only holding light sources.
