DESCRIPTION
This data pack makes torches and many other luminous items like glowstone, glowberries, lanters, etc. emit light while in your hand. It also makes certain mobs such as blazes and glow squids glow permanently and dropped light emitting items also glow. The light is server-side and visible to other players. This allows you to explore caves with ease without having to place torches everywhere.
