Plugin LightSource

LightSource, dynamic lighting for Minecraft servers

LightSource is a Java plugin for Bukkit and Spigot that adds dynamic illumination to a Minecraft server. It can make held or dropped items, mobs, and configured objects emit light while players move, creating a more atmospheric mining and exploration experience without placing torches everywhere.

The plugin supports configurable light levels from 0 to 15, static light creation, permissions, timers, effects, and source rules based on items, entities, worlds, or updates. It relies on LightAPI and targets older server versions, so BoxToPlay recommends checking compatibility before using it on a modern setup.
