Plugin category: fun Suggested name: caveTorch What I want: The ability to walk around with a torch that acts as if its placed, to see in the dark. Ideas for commands: /Ctorch on /Ctorch off Ideas for permissions: n/a When I'd like it by: whenever is convenient for the devs.
There is a plugin that exists that does this so it is possible. However, that plugin was last updated in 1.0 so it most likely isn't compatible with the new lighting engine. But I haven't tested it....
Lighting is controlled by the client. The best you can do is spawn glowstone underneath you, but it'll lag your gam like CRAZY. (At least from what I've heard)
From what Williscool98 said, I remember some plugin that made glowstone underneath you from Beta 1.5 (Minecraft) I don't remember the name though, sorry, what plugin makers can do is make fake lighting some how or just use the glowstone or a torch below you as you move. But this might make a lot of lag....
