Usage

There are twelve different light items, combining four sizes (small, medium, large, huge) and three brightnesses (dim, soft, bright).

Small lights are as wide as a fence post, medium lights are as wide as a wall, large lights are a full block in size, and huge lights are 3x3 blocks in size.

Bright, soft, and dim lights emit a ligth level of 15, 11, and 7 respectively.

Recipes

All lights are craftable with:

• 1 iron ingot
• 1 glass pane
• 1--3 glowstone dust (determines brightness)
• 1--4 prismarine crystals (determines pane size)

All recipes are shapeless.

All recipes are unlocked when holding prismarine crystals.

Overhead

Uses one advancements:

• checks for players placing item frames with the nbt data that defines a light type.

Updates every second:

• checks every entity in a 6-block radius around each player in search of lights whose blocks have been removed to destroy and drop them as items.

Known Issues

The datapack interacts badly with protection mods such as WorldGuard: if you place a light, the mod will react by removing the item, and placing it back in your inventory, but the datapack will still register the light as placed, so the base item will be duped.
