Simply Dynamic Light

Simply Dynamic Light is a powerful dynamic lighting system for Minecraft Bedrock Edition that enhances immersion without causing conflicts. It supports both main hand and off-hand light sources, works seamlessly in multiplayer, and is fully customizable to fit your gameplay needs. This addon operates without any player.json modifications, ensuring flawless compatibility with other addons.

Installation / How to Use

To activate the dynamic lighting features, hold any light-emitting item in your main or off-hand and watch your surroundings illuminate instantly. You can open the settings menu in two ways:

• Using the Config Item: Right-click (or tap and hold) with the Config Item in your inventory to bring up the options.
• Via Command: Enter /scriptevent dl:menu in chat at any time.

Administrators can reload the configuration on the fly with /scriptevent dl:reload without restarting the world.

Inside the menu, you can adjust update speeds with presets (Quality, Balanced, Performance) or customize settings manually. Toggle features such as mob lighting, dropped item illumination, action bar indicators, offhand swapping gestures, and more. You can also manage custom light-emitting items and mobs, fix ghost lighting glitches, and toggle your personal light on or off.
