How do I enable light creation mode?

Use the command /AddLight enable or /AddLight on. You'll then place lights by clicking blocks. Disable it when you're done with /AddLight disable.

What light brightness values can I use?

Light intensity ranges from 1 to 15, where 15 is the brightest (equivalent to a torch). Set it with /AddLight followed by a number before you place the light.

Can AddLight work with WorldEdit selections?

Yes, if you have the AddLight.worldedit permission. You can apply lights to your entire WorldEdit selection at once instead of placing them one by one.

What's the ConnectedBlocks command for?

It applies light to all blocks connected to each other in a cluster (like touching stone blocks). Use it carefully on large areas since it can affect many blocks at once.

Does AddLight work with other plugins?

Yes, AddLight is compatible with most Bukkit plugins. It doesn't modify terrain or interfere with other systems, so conflicts are rare.

AddLight Plugin for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper 1.12-1.13

AddLight Plugin Overview

AddLight is a simple plugin for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers that lets you place invisible light sources anywhere on your map. Instead of breaking blocks to add light, you can create light sources without touching the terrain. Great for hidden rooms, caves, or anywhere you need custom lighting without the visual clutter.

Features

Light Control

Place invisible lights and control their brightness from 1 to 15. Set the intensity you want before creating the light, then it stays that way. Works on single blocks or spreads to all connected blocks if you have the permission.

Command System

/AddLight help – Shows all available commands
/AddLight enable or /AddLight on – Start light creation mode
/AddLight disable or /AddLight off – Stop light creation mode
/AddLight <1-15> – Set light intensity before placing
