What would the best way to make an entity emit light be? There doesn't seem to be a way similar to how light source blocks work

I think the standard approach is to create an invisible block which gives off light, and then automatically place that block down where they entity is.

this two methods in the entity renderer 
makes the entity visible in the dark but it dint light the surrounding blocks 

	@Override
protected int getBlockLightLevel(door_ghost2 ie, BlockPos pos) {
return door_ghost2.fullBright ? 15 : super.getBlockLightLevel(ie, pos);
}

@Override
protected int getSkyLightLevel(door_ghost2 ie, BlockPos pos) {
return ie.level().getBrightness(LightLayer.SKY, pos);
//return 15;
}
	

atomicstricker its doing something else than placing invisible non hitbox blocks coze his torch light works when you inside tall grass
