If anyone is wanting to know, the solution looked like this: // Helper method to check sunlight conditions (including daylight) private static boolean isSufficientSunlight(Level world, BlockPos pos) { int skyLight = world.getBrightness(LightLayer.SKY, pos); long dayTime = world.getDayTime() % 24000; // Check if it's daytime and if there is enough sunlight return dayTime < 12000 && skyLight >= 5; } @SubscribeEvent public static void onCropGrow(BlockEvent.CropGrowEvent.Post event) { Level world = (Level) event.getLevel(); if (world.isClientSide) return; // Don't run logic on the client side BlockPos pos = event.getPos(); // Check if the block is a glowberry vine, skip destruction if it is if (event.getState().getBlock() == Blocks.CAVE_VINES || event.getState().getBlock() == Blocks.CAVE_VINES_PLANT) { // Skip glowberry vines return; } // Check sunlight and time restrictions if (world.getBrightness(LightLayer.SKY, pos) < 13) { // Destroy the crop (turn it into air) if there is not strong sunlight world.removeBlock(pos, false); } } // Doesn't let animals breed if there is no sunlight @SubscribeEvent public static void onAnimalBreed(BabyEntitySpawnEvent event) { Level world = event.getParentA().getCommandSenderWorld(); if (world.isClientSide) return; // Don't run logic on the client side if (!(event.getParentA() instanceof Animal) || !(event.getParentB() instanceof Animal)) { return; // Ensure it is animals breeding } Animal parentA = (Animal) event.getParentA(); Animal parentB = (Animal) event.getParentB(); // Doesn't let chicken breed if (parentA instanceof Chicken || parentB instanceof Chicken){ event.setCanceled(true); return; } if (!isSufficientSunlight(world, parentA.blockPosition())) { // Cancel the breeding event event.setCanceled(true); return; } if (!isSufficientSunlight(world, parentB.blockPosition())) { // Cancel the breeding event event.setCanceled(true); } }

I am a beginner modder, with around 50 hours of experience being guided by tutorials and chat-gpt. My mod is almost done, but I want to make the plants specifically require sunlight to encourage players to establish structure above ground. After looking at the vanilla code for a few hours, I'm still unsere what the best way to do this would be. I would be happy if someone with more experience could point me in the right direction.
