Adjust max light level

[DragonFerocity]

So, I found this topic on another forum of someone mentioning that you can adjust the max light level that a block can have by changing the way minecraft stores light from being 4bits to 8 bits. This all makes sense. I'm just wondering: where in the minecraft code can I change this?

I also seem to have found how Minecraft handles light colors: in BlockModelRenderer#renderQuadsSmooth and BlockModelRenderer#renderQuadsFlat.

 

If anyone knows more about this, I'd love to hear your insight too.

You won't be able to do this with a Forge mod.

You'd have to change Minecraft's source files, which you can't edit unless you use ASM which you are not going to get support for on here.

And you are most likely going to have complications, so be prepared to deal with those on your own.

I was beginning to wonder about that.

 

Thanks,
