Lighting around custom entity [SOLVED]

[RInventor7]

Hi! I have a custom entity that moves around. I can make the entity itself glowing but the surroundings are still not lit when it's night time. If I add a custom invisible light emitting block above the entity everything will be lit around the entity. Now, since the entity moves around it adds the light-emitting blocks int front of it and removes them from behind as it moves. Is there an easier way to do the same thing without the light-emmiting blocks. Is there some lighting system/function maybe built into Minecraft that would be usable in my case? Thanks.

AFAIK entities don't part in the lightlng system in minecraft.

If they did, there would be hundreds of mods out there that let the player carry a torch or equivalent. 🙂
