Plugin LightAPI

LightAPI, Bukkit Library for Editing Light Levels

LightAPI is a developer focused Bukkit library that lets plugins modify light data in a Minecraft server without adding visible blocks. It can create, update, or remove custom block and sky lighting at precise coordinates, making it useful for invisible light sources, cinematic effects, protected areas, and custom gameplay mechanics.

The API supports configurable light flags, immediate or deferred editing policies, client update strategies, callbacks, and queued processing to limit impact on server performance. Its documented builds support CraftBukkit and Spigot versions from 1.14.1 to 1.19, with Vanilla and Starlight engines. At BoxToPlay, we recommend checking compatibility before using it on a modern server.
