This datapack adds full dynamic light to your world. This means torches will glow in your hands, glow squids will emit actual light and so on.
It uses a light block. No mods required.
Features
-Full features of dynamic light, like in Optifine.
-Fast and fancy profiles.
-Easy to add new (or modify) glowing entities and items.
-Special features for map makers (yes, you can use this datapack in your map (e.g. as a flashlight). Read txt files inside the datapack for more info).
-Multiplayer support.
-Performance and optimization (however in this case a real bottleneck is the minecraft light system itself)
What emits light
-Entities which have equipped a glowing item.
-Glowing items when dropped.
-Entities on fire.
-Some always-glowing entities (like blaze, glow squid etc.).

If not no worries, I know compatibility is hard with this sort of thing.
All the same, awesome datapack. ^-^
But still this is way cooler than normal dynamic lights optifine offers me.
I like this datapack <3
I would love to have only the torches in player hand emitting light.
Greetings 😊
