Enhance Handheld Light Glow from Torches and Items

Locate Light Emission Settings

Open shader options and find the Lighting, Glow, or Emissive section. This controls how brightly items like torches, lanterns, and glowstone shine when held in your hand.

Adjust Handheld Brightness

Look for settings such as:

• Emissive brightness: Increases the glow intensity of light-producing items
• Light radius: Expands or shrinks how far the glow reaches into surrounding darkness
• Handheld light strength: Specifically controls light from items in your inventory

Apply and Test

Hold a torch or lantern in your hand and walk into a dark cave or forest. The area around you should illuminate more dramatically with higher settings. Increase values if you want torches to feel more powerful and magical, or decrease them for subtler lighting. Test both day and night to see how handheld light interacts with natural lighting.
