[1.7.10] Lightsource that isn't a block

[EmperorZelos]

Is there a way in minecraft to make a lightsource that is not a block? or do I always need to set down a block?

You can either recode the lighning system to support lightsources other than blocks (like DynamicLights by AtomicStryker did it) or set down an invisible block which gives off light.

is either preferable or do they result in roughly the same amount of processing?

Doing it the "Dynamic Lights" way would most likely be more efficient, but requires a pretty hacky coremod. I don't recommend it.

 

why not?

Also it says that the dynamic light one is configurable, does that mean I can make a config file of it that supports my stuff?
