Marcono1234/light-level-datapack

Minecraft datapack querying the light level using block predicates.

light-level-datapack

Minecraft datapack which uses the light block predicate introduced in 19w38a and stores the result as scoreboard score.

Repository layout

The datapack folder contains the actual datapack as a separate folder.
This allows separating meta information (like this README file, license, ...) from files used by the datapack.

Usage

Initialization

Should happen automatically when the datapack is (re-)loaded. However, it can also be triggered manually by running:

/function marcono1234:light_level/_init

Actions

Get light level

1. Run

   /function marcono1234:light_level/get_light_level
   

Afterwards the fake player #result (since v1.1) and if an entity is executing the function that entity (i.e. @s) will have the light level value as light_level score.

/scoreboard players get @s light_level

⚠️ The light level represents the "visible light (max(sky-darkening,block))". Therefore outside during day it will be 15, making you unable to determine the block light level.

Removal

To remove all scoreboard objectives added by this datapack, run:

/function marcono1234:light_level/_remove

Afterwards the datapack folder should be removed since it won't work correctly anymore.
It can be initialized to become functional again.
