GlowingGlint — Dynamic Lighting Add-on
Glowing Glint (a.k.a. GG)
Is a behavior-only, lightweight dynamic lighting add-on with some extra features. No resource pack. Achievements enabled.
HOW IT WORKS?
Light is simulated by placing `minecraft:light_block` at the nearest available air block around an entity.
Just hold a light source item, and the script will do the rest.
Light blocks are only updated when you move or the light level change — idle entities cost zero overhead.
MAIN FEATURES
- Player Light: Detects items in both mainhand and offhand. If you hold two light sources, the highest level wins out.
- Burning Mobs: Any mob or player currently on fire caused by lava, fire, or enchantments (Flame & Fire Aspect) will illuminate their surroundings.
- Glow Mobs: Native emissive support for Blaze (15), Glow Squid (9), Allay (6), Warden (5), and Magma Cubes (scaling 5–15 based on size).
- Item Drops: Dropped items emit light based on their type.
- Full Dimensional Support: Works across all 3 dimensions, including underwater.

⚠️ COMPATIBILITY
DO NOT combine this with other dynamic lighting add-ons since they will fight over the same block coordinates and cause TPS loss.
While optimized, a massive amount of emissive mobs in one area may impact performance. Though, you can toggle "Glow Mobs" off in the config menu if needed.
