About
Dynamic Lighting (Entities) adds light that moves with light-emitting items and glowing entities, so the illumination follows them as they travel through the world. Its brightest sources include glowstone, sea lanterns, lanterns, jack-o'-lanterns, shroomlights, beacons, and all three froglight types; torches, campfires, lava buckets, and end rods emit bright light, while soul torches, soul lanterns, soul campfires, redstone torches, and glow berries provide medium light. Blazes emit the brightest listed entity light, while magma cubes and glow squids emit medium light; blaze rods, blaze powder, glowstone dust, and glow ink sacs produce dim light.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a data pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
Privacy
Sends nothing
A data pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
