Client Dynamic Light

Note: the description is a bit oudated currently, and I'll try to rewrite it soon!

Client Dynamic Light v3.1 is entirely client sided and add the ability to configure which held items, worn armor, dropped items, and entities emit light... The goal of it is to achieve a smooth Dynamic Lighting without affecting performance (at least, as less as possible:D), while being entirely client sided.

All items, entities and armor light levels are configurable. See Configuration/Advanced section.

There's also some kind of unique smooth transitions when switching wielded item / when an entity die or stop burning (fade-out / fade-in). It will be configurable in the future.

By default, the mod will create 2 config files inside config/clientdynamiclight directory: config_items.json and config_entities.json. It will create the basic configuration of items that should shine in hands/dropped/weared(armor), and what entities should shine if they're burning. See the showcase video below!

The ingame Configuration interface that you can open with by default the key "O". You can hover the items to get more informations (tooltips). You can also access it on main menu "config/mod/...".

(Special thanks to end3r for that GUI rework=) )

Configurable keybinds to open config/toggle the mod: (outdated)

See "Advanced" section below to know how to configure the json config!

Very quick demo of the mod: (1.20.1, showcasing 2 features out of many more!)

The mod has translation for English, French and Chinese for the GUI. Thanks to @MayIHaveK for the Chinese translation.

Feel free to suggest/make more translations! You can do a merge request or an issue on github.

The default configuration in the json is like that: (outdated in v3.3)

config_entities.json and config_items.json

You can freely customize the entities and the items/nodes in hand that should shine, in the json configs.

There are some special parameters: (outdated in 3.3)

- "burningDefault" : The the amount of light/brightness that an entity should make when it's burning. It's a global parameter and will affect every entities that are burning.

- "disableInNether/ender" : Wether you want to disable entities light or helded items light when you are in the nether/ender.

- "disabeEntities/disablesNodes" : To disable the dynamic light from entities or from helded/dropped items (if both are at true, the mod will be disabled).

- "special": "creeper_charged": Special case for charged creeper. If you specify "creeper_charged" in the special key, only a charged creeper will shine.

Don't hesitate to join our discord server or make an issue on github if you didn't understand how to configure the mod!

Feel free to add the mod in any modpack published on curseforge! This is highly appreciated.
