Possible solution for invisible light source

  1. Hello :)

    I have searched arround for a long time to find a plugin who allow an invisible light source, but since the patch, this is not possible.
    But, with a plugin who remove the physics of nether portal, ive found that when you make a square of nether portal, the portal vanish, letting only the particle effects and the light source :)

    So im wondering, it is possible to see a plugin who remove the physics of portals, and allow of placing invisible portals without having to make a square of it ? I tryed to see the ID of the invisible portal but nothing, so i can't "worldedit" him xD

    Maybe making a sub ID like 90:10 to be a invisible portal, this could be fun !

    Of course this is not for little places, but i think abount a giant building to be lighting without glow/torch or other stuff visible, or giant statue, or giant cave, well every place that must be lighted where a block like torch or glow will be ugly :)

    Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english ;)

  3. Tryed some stuff, event with mcedit when i copy a portal invisible and paste it elsewhere, the portal is not invisible, so the invisibility depend of blocks arround :/
    My dream could be a plugin that introduce a invisible portal without the particle of portal, and without the effect of "drunk" by the portal xD
    But i can be happy simply with a plugin who introduce the invisible portal with particles and effects ^^

    yeah i'd love to see this too
    Is it in anyway possible to have a piece of "stone" or something that the game is tricked into thinking is a glowstone?

    Can anyone smart shed some light on this for us?
     
  5. No you cant, since a time now, the light is calculated client side, the clien verify if the block emmit light or not, and light the area, have read that arround when i looking for a invisible light block ;)
    So now it is impossible :(

    But, my solution work, i'd take the plugin "skript" and make a skript to surround solid blocs with squares of portals, and remove the physics of portals. So i use my "brush" of portal to my giant dragon, and now my dragon is visible at night :)
    With that, i dont have a big layer of portal, only the necessary :)

    Well, the light level is not very high, but its all i have, i dont want to place glowstone, or ugly torch everywhere, my dragon will hate that xD
    Here, a screen of the render of light :

    My dragon is in obsidian/netherbrick/brown wool. So its pretty dark even under sun xD
     
  6. I'll attempt on shining some light on this.
    No
    Its client-side. :C
    Happy coding!
     
  7. Yep, client side xD
    Before, the end portal was invisible when see from under, you just see the great light it emmit, but it come with the fps lag when you placed it in number :/ But now, this bloc is visible from everywhere. So the last solution is the portal nether block xD
