DavidM Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Override ItemArmor#onArmorTick to detect when the player is wearing the armor. As for making the player emit light, I can think of 3 methods, all of which have drawbacks: 1. Manually set the light level of the blocks around the player (very resource demanding, can cause a lot of lag) 2. Make a custom block that emits light. Create the block at the player's position, and destroy it whenever the player moves to another block. Repeat the process as the player moves 3. Rewrite how Minecraft lighting works (like in AtomicStryker's Dynamic Lights mod) (hard to implement if you are a novice modder, as you have stated) I would say the 2nd way is the easiest to understand and to implement. Edited February 14, 2019 by DavidM Quote Some tips: Spoiler Modder Support: Spoiler 1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code. 2. Always post your code. 3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that. 4. Quote Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere 5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger. 6. Quote The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it. Support & Bug Reports: Spoiler 1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s). 2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadiboo Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Define glow. if you mean “render fullbright on the player” it’s very easy. if you mean create light around the player, you can make a light-emitting block that follows you around (reasonably difficult), or you can depend on OptiFine’s Dynamic Lights feature and/or the dynamic lights mod (probably pretty easy) Quote About Me Spoiler My Discord - Cadiboo#8887 My Website - Cadiboo.github.io My Mods - Cadiboo.github.io/projects My Tutorials - Cadiboo.github.io/tutorials Versions below 1.14.4 are no longer supported on this forum. Use the latest version to receive support. When asking support remember to include all relevant log files (logs are found in .minecraft/logs/), code if applicable and screenshots if possible.

Splint Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I thought about making a block that emmits light but what will happen when, for example, player stands near a torch or swims in the water?So, at this point I've done some research and decided to add dynamic_lights.properties to my mod./*Sorry for my english*/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glowing texture for a custom armor is a daunting task; you'll need to create a custom render layer for your armor, which is easier said than done, and also connect that layer to the player that should be wearing it. I really have no idea how to do that. I'd recommend looking into how other mods do custom armor, and working from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
