Advanced Dynamic Lighting addon

Advanced Dynamic Lighting is a feature-rich addon that brings true off-hand torch usage and smart dynamic lighting to Minecraft Bedrock Edition. It allows players to hold torches in the left hand to illuminate the surrounding area in real time, place them without interrupting main-hand actions, and benefit from an intelligent priority system similar to Java Edition.

Key Features

The mod supports all Minecraft versions starting from 1.21.80 and requires Beta APIs to be enabled in world settings. Its core functionality focuses on realistic, player-centered lighting that follows your movement, removing the need to constantly place light sources while exploring caves, structures, or dark biomes.

Holding a torch in the left hand automatically creates a moving light source around the player. This system works smoothly and does not interfere with normal gameplay actions such as mining, attacking, eating, or placing blocks with the right hand.

Off-Hand Torch Mechanics

Advanced Dynamic Lighting introduces a practical off-hand system designed for comfort and efficiency. You can instantly swap the torch in your left hand with another item, making it easy to adapt during combat or exploration. The addon is carefully scripted so that the right hand always keeps priority for core actions, ensuring natural and predictable behavior.

Torch Placement System

Torches held in the left hand can be placed using a dedicated placement mechanic. By sneaking and holding the screen (or right-clicking on PC) while aiming at empty space, you can attach torches to nearby blocks. This method prevents accidental placement and allows precise positioning, even on complex surfaces, without interrupting your main-hand actions.

Smart Priority Logic

The addon includes an advanced priority system inspired by Java Edition. If you are holding food in your right hand while hungry, the game will correctly prioritize eating instead of placing a torch. The same logic applies to tools, weapons, block placement, and combat. Torches are only placed when the right hand is idle, resulting in a smooth and intuitive gameplay experience.

Multiple Torch Types Supported

Recent updates expanded compatibility beyond standard torches. The mod now supports:

• Regular Torches for classic lighting
• Soul Torches with blue-toned illumination
• Redstone Torches that still interact with redstone systems
• Copper Torches, providing standard light with their own visual style

Each torch type retains its original properties while benefiting from improved placement accuracy and dynamic lighting behavior.

Why Use Advanced Dynamic Lighting?

This addon is ideal for players who want:

• Realistic dynamic lighting without constant block placement
• True off-hand torch functionality in Bedrock Edition
• Java-like priority logic for smoother gameplay
• Support for multiple torch variants

Advanced Dynamic Lighting significantly improves exploration and combat flow, making it a powerful quality-of-life upgrade for Minecraft PE (Bedrock).
