Jungle's Light Challenge

by logbyjungle

Jungle's Light Challenge makes light sources hurt players who stand near them, turning nights into a hazard course for the Fabric server it runs on.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT License1.21.11

What it does

Light near a player deals damage, and both sunlight and block light count toward it. The mod subtracts 4 from the light level, because the light level is always 4 at midnight, so players can still move around safely at that time. Only the server needs the mod installed; players join without installing anything. It targets Minecraft 1.21.11 and is published for Fabric only, under the MIT License, though the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Light damages players

    Nearby light sources cause damage, so lit areas stop being a safe place to rest during the challenge.

  2. Sunlight and block light

    Both daylight and light emitted by blocks count, so torches and lamps matter as much as the sun.

  3. Safe midnight

    The light level is reduced by 4, so the baseline midnight light no longer hurts players.
