The new lighting system that was introduced with 1.9 (1.8 ?) has made this impossible without a client mod. Sorry :(

Description

This plugin adds a new redstone mechanic to the game, which makes powered wool glow in the dark (but not emit light). The block at each face of any powered wool block that is not solid is given a light level of 15, the effect of this is that the wool block is visibly lit up while it does not light up the area.

This allows for the creation of cool glow in the dark pixel art and even complicated animations if you have the time to work around all the lighting bugs in the game.

Planned Changes

• Permissions node for creating glowing blocks (not sure if this will be possible)
• Try to work around some of the lighting bugs.
• Add more efficiency.
• Configurable blocks.
• Add different modes:
  • Redstone (powered blocks are lit).
  • Area Selection (clicked on or selected blocks can be linked to a lever, button, etc).
  • Torch Click (clicking on a block with a torch will light it up).

Know Limitations / Bugs

• Sometimes when a player places a block near the lit area the light will be reset for their client, the server will reset the light level for other players but the one that placed the block will not see it for a while. Doing somethign that will change the light level of the area (like placing a torch or repeater close enough for the light to overlap) also causes this, an easy work around it to use levers as a power source.
• Some shapes will not light if not all of the blocks are powered, this seems to be a quirk of the way Minecraft blends the light.
• The client will not process lighting updates that happen far away, this is visible in the video where the animating "Bukkit" appears to be frozen but when approaching it starts working.

Contributing

Contributions to the project are very much welcome, if you have a feature that you want implemented and know a nice way to do it then consider forking the repo and submitting a pull request. These will be accepted as long as the following simple guidelines are followed.

• Do not edit the structure of the pom.xml file, feel free to add a dependency if you need it but the formatting and structure should not be changed.
• If you are exposing a new API method, add a JavaDoc comment to it, but don't over-comment internal code.
• Follow the existing code style, don't antagonise over every space though !

All dependencies that are used are now available from a public Maven repo, so you don't have to worry about building several other projects just to add a simple change any more.
