GD656LightCore

by Minecraft_GD656

GD656LightCore adds dynamic lighting to TaCZ firearms, so each shot, trail, impact and explosion casts real-time light into the surroundings.

ForgeClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod is a Forge addon for the TaCZ firearms mod. When a player fires a weapon, a short-lived light source appears at the muzzle, with a brightness chosen at random. Bullet trails, impact points and explosions cast light as well, and the lighting is rendered by the client, so the surrounding blocks and entities are lit as the shot happens.

Each weapon type has its own duration: sniper and DMR weapons default to 3 and heavy or RPG weapons default to 7. Parameters are adjusted through the Forge mod config screen or the in-game client commands, which can also be reached with the alias gdlc. Changes apply immediately and are saved automatically. The project is in early 0.x development, and its features are still changing; some documented behavior may shift between releases.

Installation requires [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero, which must be present alongside GD656LightCore. The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Muzzle flash light

    Each shot emits a short light at the muzzle, positioned from the weapon and given a random brightness.

  2. Trail and impact lighting

    Bullet trails and impact points light the area around them as they travel and land.

  3. Explosion light

    Explosions and rocket trails cast area light, with soft compatibility for Explosive Enhancement's particles.

  4. Per-weapon duration

    Light duration is set per weapon type, with sniper and DMR weapons defaulting to 3 and heavy or RPG weapons to 7.

  5. Live configuration

    Settings change through the Forge config screen or client commands, take effect immediately and are saved automatically.

Questions

Does GD656LightCore require TaCZ?

Yes. [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero is a required dependency and must be installed with GD656LightCore.

Does the server need GD656LightCore?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Most features work with only the client installed, but other players' muzzle flashes appear only when the server also runs the mod.

Which Minecraft versions does GD656LightCore support?

Only Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge. The latest file is 0.0.4-1.20.1-forge, published on the beta channel.
