NightLight
NightLight - Putting the vision back into minecraft nights!
The ONLY realistic light plugin to support absolutely any item! Specify whether you want players holding specific items to get realistic light, players who have specific items in their inventory, or even players who are wearing specific pieces of armor!
![]()
100% WORKING MOD SUPPORT!! - Just specify extra non-solid ids in the config file. Support is planned for changing the block that is placed below you to create the light.
TEKKIT SUPPORT: If you're running tekkit, you're in for quite a surprise! I've already filled in all the ids for you, so all you'll have to do is simply drop the plugin into your plugins folder on your server!
Commands / Permissions
/nightlight (aliases: /nl)- Displays current mode and applicable ids - nightlight.use
In the config, if you enable permissions, only people with nightvision.use will see the glowstone under them. Everyone else will not benefit!
How to install
Drop into plugins folder and restart/reload. If /nightlight doesn't seem to be working, delete the config file located at "plugins/NightLight/config.yml" and restart/reload.
Configuration
Tons of info about how to configure here.

Posted Jul 14, 2013It should be compatible with recent releases, assuming no major API overhauls were made... Test it out and let me know how it goes!

It's backwards compatible, I've extensively tested it, so no worries about the version mismatch!

Adding that to the planned features, should be available in the next update! (Hopefully about mid-afternoon tomorrow, I don't have time to make any changes at the moment)

Posted Sep 12, 2012Is it possible for me to make multiple conditions for the light? For example, I want there to be light when a player holds a torch or is wearing a gold helmet. Would I be able to do that?
