Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on dynamic lights?
Dynamic lights work automatically once the mod is installed — just hold a light-emitting item like a torch, lantern, or glowstone in your main hand or offhand and the area around you lights up as you move. There's no keybind to enable it; if nothing is lighting up, check that you're actually holding an eligible item.
Does it work in my offhand?
Yes. Holding a torch, lantern, or other light-emitting item in your offhand will make you glow just like holding it in your main hand. This is handy for keeping your main hand free for a sword or tool.
Why isn't my torch lighting anything up?
Make sure the item is actually in your hand and not just in your inventory — dynamic lights only trigger from held items, dropped items, or entities. Also check your light level settings, since the mod lets you cap how bright dynamic lights can get, and a low cap can make the effect hard to notice.
Which items emit light?
Over 47 vanilla items can emit light, including torches, lanterns, glowstone, lava buckets, amethyst-trimmed armor, and enchanted gear. Different items emit at different light levels, so a torch and a lava bucket won't necessarily produce the same brightness.
