Greetings.
I am wondering if anyone would be willing to bring AddLight over to sponge (MC1.10.2).
Here is the Curse link
Here is the Bukkit link
Here is the GitHub link
NEW! Here is the Spigot link
AddLight is licenced under Apache Licence v2
The author has not been on Bukkit for eight days, or Curse for seven weeks.
After some search I found the interesting part of the plugin: link. It is another repo than the one in the first post. But it seems that this code is used by the plugin.
The lightAPI that is forked from is more recent.
Unless my understanding of the API is a bit rusty in this department but this might need to be a SpongeForge only plugin for the mean time since it needs forge/minecraft code access.
@Waterpicker I have not looked into the functionality of the plugin much, but yeah it would most likely require some implementation-dependent code. Keep in mind though this does not have to mean SpongeForge only. There are many different choices, which are brought up in the documentation, such as using Mixins or MCP with ForgeGradle/VanillaGradle which can work for both Sponge implementations. There is also PacketGate which may allow for some of this functionality but there is no guarantee of it being updated like as MCP/ForgeGradle and Mixins.
On a more related note, if someone can pull this plugin off with not too large of a performance impact it would be pretty cool and I can see many people finding a use for it. Often while building I cannot find a decent way to introduce light and this would solve that issue.
Just checking in to see if anyone has had a chance to look at this yet? It appears the Bukkit LightAPI is no longer updated, save for bug and version fixes
*Plugin goes into “archive” status. Major updates are not planned for future (I hope). Will go out minor updates for fixes and additions of new versions of Spigot.
