How to make light in Minecraft?


Minecraft today is super popular computer game in the sandbox genre, allowing you to create your own world. The essence of the game is very simple - earn, look for materials and construction, however, absolute freedom in the possibilities of building your own world is a surprisingly attractive fact, and therefore Minecraft, although not intricate, is still very popular long time... In the game, you can create not only a resource or building block, but also a phenomenon.

This article will show you how to create light in Minecraft.

Sources of light

Minecraft has a ton of light sources - sunlight, fire, torch, lava, lighthouse, moonlight, sea lantern, glowing stone, etc. The most popular among all this variety are the torch, Jack's lamp, the glowing stone, the locked chest and the activated lamp, but the torch gives the most light, in addition, it does not require complex materials to manufacture.

How to make a torch?

The torch requires only two ingredients - charcoal and a stick. How do you get these resources? To get coal, you need to burn a block of wood. Coal from one block of wood is enough for four torches. Trees in Minecraft are everywhere, so it's not difficult to get them. As a matter of fact, it is also easy to get a stick. When the materials are collected, open the workbench - a special panel that allows you to collect various blocks and items in the game, select a stick and put coal on top. Everything! The torch is ready!

The rest of the lamps are made by analogy with the torch, only the materials are needed more rare. So, for example, to make Jack's lamp, you need a torch and a pumpkin, for a glowing stone you need light dust, for sea ​​lantern- prismarine crystal, etc.

Light-making tricks

If you don't have a single object that creates light at hand, and you really need lighting, you can use the / time set day command in the game console, with this command you can set the day in the game at any time.

How to make light in Minecraft? Everything is very simple! To do this, you need lamps, red dust, repeater, button, sticky piston and block. You don't have to craft anything extra if you have these materials in stock. Next, you need to start building installations. Here you can take into account not only practicality, but also design elements. We put several blocks on top of each other, set torches on the sides of the block.

Next, we use the redstone and carry it to the installed llamas. It is also necessary to install a button on the blocks, by pressing which, you can get artificial lighting. For more information, we recommend that you follow the link on how to make light dust in minecraft and watch the video. Artificial lighting is essential in the game, it allows you to be independent of natural light sources such as the sun and the moon. Now you can always turn on the lamps if you need additional lighting, and you also do not know the time of day in the Minecraft game.

Different versions of MineCraft have implemented their own lighting models.

In the Classis and Survival Test versions, sunlight spreads from the edge of the map and hits any block below it. If the blocks are not exposed to sunlight, their brightness is zero. Light passes through any transparent blocks.

Lighting levels on blocks.

V MineCraft versions Alpha uses 16 units of light brightness: starting from 0 - this is almost complete darkness and up to 15 units - the brightness of the sun. Light emitting blocks also differ in brightness. Torch brightness - 14 units. The light from the torch will decrease by one unit as the distance from the source is one block.
Glowing stone or Jack's luminaires have a brightness of 15 units, that is, the adjacent block will be lit with a brightness of 14 units. But if a narrow corridor is overcome in one block, then these blocks are impassable, unlike a torch. They will have to be placed in a niche.

Sunlight has a maximum brightness of 15 units. With the onset of sunset, the brightness decreases by one unit every 10 seconds until nightfall at which the brightness of the moon and stars is 4 units. Sunlight does not lose its brightness as it moves away from the source. Blocks exposed to sunlight will be equally lit at any height.

Sources of light

In MineCraft, besides the sun, there are blocks that by themselves can emit light, that is, they can illuminate dark areas of locations.

Facts

  • Zombies and skeletons are burned in the sunlight.
  • Spiders in the sunlight stop new attacks, except for those spiders that managed to attack the player before sunrise or spiders attacking from dark caves, they only attack if the player started attacking first.
  • Endermen in the light will evade combat even when the player is aggressive.
  • The light level in the game sets some rules for the growth of plants and the appearance and existence of individual mobs.
  • Trees grow only when the illumination is 13 units and above. Flowers and seedlings grow at light levels above 8 units.
  • Sunlight does not melt ice and snow, and any local light source with a brightness of 12 units and above can melt them. For mobs to spawn, an illumination of at least 8 is required. For neutral mobs, an illumination of at least 9 is required to spawn.
  • In the Nether world - its own illumination - dim twilight, not reaching complete darkness.
  • In the Nether, there are two glowing blocks that are valuable to the player: a hellstone and a glowing stone.
  • If you set fire to a hellish stone, it will turn out endless source Sveta. A Glowstone can be obtained by collecting 4 Light Dust, its brightness is 15 units. The glowing stone is convenient for lighting underwater, because unlike fire, lava and torches, it does not go out underwater. Jack's lamp is used for the same purposes.

Now you can always turn on the lamps if you need additional lighting, and you also do not know the time of day in the Minecraft game.

The essence of the mechanism is that when night falls, the light turns on in your house. When it starts, the light turns off!

All we need for this mechanism is:

  • Daylight sensor 1 pc.
  • Lamps (Any number)
  • Red torch 1 pc.
  • Redstone 8 pcs.

So I built a simple house:

Then we make holes in the ceiling and insert lamps there:

Multiplayer version

I recently published a small guide on the new features of command blocks. As I mentioned in it, nothing particularly new has been introduced, but the development of mechanisms is now much easier and faster. Having promised to consider examples, I, in general, did not lie. Today we will take a look at an example of an automatic light control system that I have disassembled, which I needed when creating one of my projects. Are you familiar with the lighting system in modern porches? When the light turns on only when someone moves, after a while it remains on, and when the movement stops after a certain amount of time, it turns off. I guess so. It is this mechanism that we will try to create using the new features of Minecraft 1.9.

To begin with, it is worth thinking about what statistics we need to implement the proposed task. Let me remind you that we have to track ( a) the player's motion and ( b) the time after which the lighting will stop working. Let's see how you can concisely create the corresponding previously designated statistics:

Let's start a detailed study of the mechanism. Command blocks should be located: ( a) in the suggested order, so that the arrow of each previous command block is directed to the next; ( b) of the proposed type; ( v) with the suggested modifier variations. If you comply with the proposed conditions, prepare the place (installing lapis lazuli blocks at the required depth), and create the necessary statistics, then everything will work fine.

minecraft: lapis_block 0 / scoreboard players tag @p add AL

Remove the redstone block (put air on; turn off the lighting). Since given command block in the chain mode has a conditional variation of the modifier, it will only work when the players wait a hundred game bars.

The activity modifier was not separately commented. With him, everything is completely obvious.

If you try to figure it out, everything will turn out to be very, very simple. Therefore, I publish a map with this mechanism, where you can try it out personally, as well as study the commands without my comments.

Basically, that's all. Hope this diagram will be useful to someone.
