    Plugin category: general

    Suggested name: brightness

    What I want:
    I want a plugin that makes all players that are in a particular world have full bright
    I am not asking for something that gives them nightvision potion, i want it to be more like the light command from single player commands where it tells the client that every block has the same amount of light.
    i dont know whether this is possible (is the lighting handled by client?) but it may be possible to modify the packets sent to the players
    Ideas for commands: No commands needed for this plugin.

    Ideas for permissions: brightness.fullbright - allows fullbright for that player

    When I'd like it by: when you finish making it.

    The light is handled by the client, but maybe something can be done (perhaps set every block to have a source of light server-side)? I actually like this idea and would like to see it be made.

    robrobk That would give loads of lag I think, why not give the players infinite night visibility potions?

    Lets say you have 10 players at the fullbright world and every player has ~15 blocks around him imagine these 15+ blocks being changed every time the player moves,the packet side if its possible i am not sure, wouldn't be better.
    I would use nightvision.

    You would send packets for almost every block in the world, that would cause lag

    i think it would send the block brightness anyway, it would just have to change the value

    You still need to send a packet for each block in the area. Server won't like that. Certainly not for multiple players.
