Help with lighting?

[kajoman]

I have been searching for a tutorial on how to get nodes to emit light, but so far all of the ones I have found don't work or wrack my brain. I, not being a Computer Genius, am pleading to the community to help me figure out how to make my mod block emit minor light. Thank you

go into games then minetest then mods then default and in its init you should search for torches or lava they should say something about emmiting light.

I tried that, and I have attempted to do the method portrayed within. Sadly, it has not helped. Thank for the try though.

light_source = (number),

Hi, post your code for the node if it continues not to work and one of us can help.

In your node definition table you have to insert this line:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("mod:name", {
    -- other stuff here
    light_source = [number from 0 (no light) to 14 (max light)],
})
