The following code just sets a small rendered plane with the texture of "polished_andesite" at the coordinates 0|60|0
But even in complete darkness, the plane still "glows". How can I get the plane to interact with the local light level?
Im using the following options:

public static final RenderType OVERLAY_PLATE = makeType("overlay_plate",
            DefaultVertexFormats.POSITION_TEX, GL11.GL_QUADS, 256,
            RenderType.State.getBuilder()
                    .layer(PROJECTION_LAYERING)
                    .transparency(TRANSLUCENT_TRANSPARENCY)
                    .texture(new TextureState(new ResourceLocation("minecraft:textures/block/polished_andesite.png"), false, false))
                    .depthTest(DEPTH_ALWAYS)
                    .cull(CULL_DISABLED)
                    .lightmap(LIGHTMAP_DISABLED)
                    .writeMask(COLOR_WRITE)
                    .build(true));

And the following code to render:

	@SubscribeEvent
    public void render(RenderWorldLastEvent event) {
		
		 IRenderTypeBuffer.Impl bufferSource = Minecraft.getInstance().getRenderTypeBuffers().getBufferSource();
	     IVertexBuilder builder = bufferSource.getBuffer(ModRenderTypes.OVERLAY_PLATE);
		 Vec3d view = Minecraft.getInstance().gameRenderer.getActiveRenderInfo().getProjectedView();
		 
		 int x = 0;
		 int y = 60;
		 int z = 0;
		 
		 MatrixStack stack = event.getMatrixStack();
	     stack.push();
	     stack.translate(-view.x, -view.y, -view.z);
		
	     Matrix4f lastStack = stack.getLast().getMatrix();
	     
	     builder.pos(lastStack, x, y + 1.0f, z + 1.0f).tex(0, 1).endVertex();
	     builder.pos(lastStack, x + 1.0f, y + 1.0f, z + 1.0f).tex(1, 1).lightmap(0, 240).endVertex();
	     builder.pos(lastStack, x + 1.0f, y + 1.0f, z).tex(1, 0).lightmap(0, 240).endVertex();
	     builder.pos(lastStack, x, y + 1.0f, z).tex(0, 0).lightmap(0, 240).endVertex();
		 stack.pop();
	     bufferSource.finish(ModRenderTypes.OVERLAY_PLATE);
	     
	}

My idea was to copy some code out of the BlockRendererDispatcher and use it every tick with the measured light level. Is that a possible?
Any help is appreciated,

Well, it might help if you enable the lightmap associated with the block. Also, why not render a block using BlockRendererDispatcher? Finally, why do you even need to render a custom version of a block?

OK, thats a good idea, Ive managed to do that, now I have two problems:
1)The Lighting, the "blockRenderer.renderBlock" requires a field called "combinedLighting", Ive found the method "mc.worldRenderer.getCombinedLight()"  it requires the a "BlockPos", and a "ILightReader", how can I get the current ILightReader instance?

2) The block is "wobbling" because now I only translate with "stack.translate(0, 60, 1);" what can I do against that? Before, I was translating with:

Vec3d view = mc.gameRenderer.getActiveRenderInfo().getProjectedView();
stack.translate(-view.x, -view.y, -view.z);

You can look at what implements the interface. You can also infer which classes might need to know the light value (for example, the world).

To be able to statically project an object, you need to take the position and subtract it from the projected view.
