[1.8] Adjusting light levels

[krikke93]

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to change the lighting of my mod, so that it would be completely dark during nights and in unlit places. The same effect this Mod brings: http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/225957-hardcore-darkness

 

I've taken a look at the source code of this mod, but I can't seem to understand what is going on. I do understand I would need to change the minimum light level for every Block to total darkness.

Anyone have an idea how I can start doing this?

 

Any help is appreciated,

kind regards, Krikke

Hi

 

I'm guessing that the mod actually modifies the block lighting texture, not the minimum light level (which is already zero)

 

This link explains a bit more

I imagine that if the [0,0] entry is fully black, unlit blocks will be completely black.

Hi, this was a very interesting read. However, I still have no idea how to change this [0,0] entry. Where do I find it? How do I edit it or make sure it overrides the original minecraft entry?

 

(I'm very new to modding but learning pretty fast)

 

Cheers, Krikke

Hi

 

I think you will probably need to use ASM+Reflection to overwrite parts of the vanilla code in EntityRenderer.updateLightMap().  That's pretty tricky to get right, but the change itself will be very simple.  There are a few tutorials around on how to use ASM+Reflection.

Alright, thank you very much for your help. I was wondering how you'd change vanilla code for a while now
