[1.14.4] world.setLightFor is missing?

[DcZipPL]

I wanted to set the light to 6, one block above in TileEntity tick(), but I don't know how. I read that in 1.12 there was something like this:

world.setLightFor(LightType, BlockPos, int)

but now it is missing in version 1.14.4.

A workaround would be to create an air-like block (that doesn't render and has no bounding box) and give that the desired light level. You could then place this block wherever it's needed to create an artificial light source.

I'm making Anti-Torch and is possibility make to air-like block that blocks lighting and make area darker?

Minecraft's lighting mechanics are going to make that difficult. But in theory you can create an air block (no collision, hitbox, or model) that causes light to drop extra fast.
