Sulfur Cubes can emit dynamic light
by ThirtyFangs
Sulfur Cubes can emit dynamic light when a light source sits inside them, a behavior added by the Sulfur Cubes can emit dynamic light mod.
What it does
A Sulfur Cube that holds a light-emitting block inside it lights up the area around it. The light changes as the cube moves, so a lit cube carries its glow through the world. Light sources recognized by the mod include the sea lantern and the magma block, and a cube without one emits no light.
The mod runs on a server and needs no installation on the client, so players join without it. Installation is required on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is also available as a data pack for server platforms. Files cover game versions 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 1.1 for 26.3, published 2026-06-24. It is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Light from held blocks
A Sulfur Cube holding a light source gives off light in the blocks around it while it is carrying that source.
Sea lantern support
A sea lantern placed inside a Sulfur Cube makes the cube emit light.
Dynamic lighting
The emitted light follows the cube as it moves, so the lit area shifts with the cube's position.
