Making an entity as a light source

Posted March 23, 201510 yr

Is there any way to have an entity that emits light (no I don't mean like getBrightness)? Kind of like a moving glowstone? I know lightning does something like that but I don't know if that is what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

You could make an invisible block that emits light, and have your entity place/destroy it constantly at its position.

What kind of entity are you talking about? and item entity, living entity, ect??? I do have some code I could explain to you for a living entity.

Also, what version are you doing this in?

It is a throwable entity but any code would help

what this does is it takes the location of your entity and sets the light of that block to 16 (with code as is) you can change this by changing the 16 to whatever you want the light level to be.

private void addLight() {
	this.worldObj.setLightValue(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ, 16);
	this.worldObj.markBlockRangeForRenderUpdate((int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posX, 12, 12, 12);
	this.worldObj.markBlockForUpdate((int) this.posX, (int) this.posY,
			(int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY + 1, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY - 1, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) this.posX + 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) this.posX - 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ + 1);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ - 1);
}

to call on it put this in your LivingUpdate method:

addLight();

also add this to the very end of your LivingUpdate to remove the light when you remove the entity

if (this.isDead) {
this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
		(int) this.posX, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);
}

this will force the block to update its light to where it should be.

Thanks! This is along the lines of what I had, I just couldn't quite get there. Could you explain what the update light by type does?

it tells the block to update its light level based on the light level of blocks around it and the sky. for in the addLight() method, it updates the blocks around the block the entity is in to cause the light to reach out until it is at its limits. the call when the entity is dead causes the source block to check its light level based on the sky and block light sources, therefore causing it to reset.

to explain the code in detail

this.worldObj.setLightValue(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ, 16);

you should know what this.worldObj is. EnumSkyBlock.Block tell the server what type of light you are modifying, in this case, you are modifying block light. You really shouldn't need to change sky light because that will effect the whole world. (int) this.posX + 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ is the block position relative to the entity. 16 is the light level you are setting the block to.

this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) this.posX + 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);

this is pretty much the same as the setLightValue method, just without the 16, and shouldn't be the same block as the setLightValue, otherwise your block light level will reset.

What happens to the blocks that are previously set while the entity moves? Do they automatically reset every tick, or will this leave a trail of lighted blocks? Also, does the light value setting work on air blocks?

Unless the entity is moving faster than 1 block per tick, then the light update lines will remove old light source blocks the entity created. Also, the light value works on all blocks. You can see the code working if you use my mod, Mo Chickens, and spawn in the glowing chicken. I made this bit of code to be the best option to giving entities light and not having to make an invisible block. Entities this should not be used on are any entities that teleport around. But you could use it if you modify the light updates to use entities previous position, which is stored by the game.

So I tryed using that on my projectile, which just stays in place atm. I have the add light method in the onUpdate method and it doesn't light anything up. Is there anything I should change?

The issue is onUpdate is not called every tick, you need to put it in onLivingUpdate, which I am no sure if a projectile has a living update. It only works in onLivingUpdate because onLivingUpdate is called every tick, unlike onUpdate.

Ok so I set up an addLight() thing for a player tick event, and everything is working but the addLight isn't doing anything. Here is my code:

@SubscribeEvent
public void onTick(TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent evt){
	this.addLight(evt.player.worldObj, evt.player);
}
private void addLight(World world, EntityPlayer player) {
	world.setLightValue(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY, (int) player.posZ, 16);
	world.markBlockRangeForRenderUpdate((int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY, (int) player.posX, 12, 12, 12);
	world.markBlockForUpdate((int) player.posX, (int) player.posY,
			(int) player.posZ);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY + 1, (int) player.posZ);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY - 1, (int) player.posZ);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) player.posX + 1, (int) player.posY, (int) player.posZ);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) player.posX - 1, (int) player.posY, (int) player.posZ);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY, (int) player.posZ + 1);
	world.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) player.posX,
			(int) player.posY, (int) player.posZ - 1);

No I'm using that tick handler just to see it work. Right now I haven't done anything with my entity

try adding

public void onEntityUpdate() {

super();

addlight();

}

This method is called in Entity.class every tick and may be what will allow your entity to produce light.

Ok I tried that the addLight method IS being called, but its not lighting anything up. It is 2 blocks above the ground btw.

At this point, I am not sure why it is not working, I know it works with living entities, but I don't know why it's not working for your entity with the method it's in.

Still not working, even though I made a living entity to test it:

package com.apmods.magicraft.entity;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.world.EnumSkyBlock;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class EntityLivingTest extends EntityLiving{

public EntityLivingTest(World p_i1594_1_) {
	super(p_i1594_1_);
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public void onLivingUpdate()
    {
	super.onLivingUpdate();
	addLight();
    }
private void addLight() {
	this.worldObj.setLightValue(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ, 16);
	this.worldObj.markBlockRangeForRenderUpdate((int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posX, 12, 12, 12);
	this.worldObj.markBlockForUpdate((int) this.posX, (int) this.posY,
			(int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY + 1, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY - 1, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) this.posX + 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block,
			(int) this.posX - 1, (int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ + 1);
	this.worldObj.updateLightByType(EnumSkyBlock.Block, (int) this.posX,
			(int) this.posY, (int) this.posZ - 1);
}

doing some testing with my code, I realized the error, change the 16 to 15 and it will work.

Ahhh yea I was wondering why it was 16 but I figured it probably has to be above 15 or something. Will try it out on see how it goes

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

Okay so I was trying to boot an MC Eternal 2 Server, I downloaded the latest server files from Curse which include a 47.4.2 jar. Whenever I install the server files into my folder and attempt to boot the server, I get Error: Could not find or load main class @user_jvm_args.txt in the cmd and nothing else. Now, MCE2 does have its own custom args so I deleted those and tried simple xms and xmx args, but that didn't let the server boot either. I assumed that maybe my java version was out of date, but I have the latest version of Java Installed and I even installed the Java 17 SDK for good measure just in case Java 25 is too recent for the pack. Still no avail. I tried running a vanilla 1.20.1 and it boots just fine, but for some reason the forge server still won't boot. Does anyone know anything I could try?

Perhaps the slaked lime needs to be at a specific temperature (or needs to be stabilized before use).
