About Eternal Light

From SpigotMC

Implements the light level overlay from NEI as a server side plugin! See where mobs can spawn.

[​IMG] ​
Adds the ability to show the light-levels of blocks around you. Just like from the mod Not Enough Items this plugin allows players with permission to see what the nearby light levels are around them. When enabled it will only highlight areas and blocks that a hostile mob can spawn on, slabs, glass etc will not be shown as valid spawn blocks so do not get an indicator.

Modes & Commands
Eternal Light is built to be simple and light weight while adding a useful feature, to keep it this way all the commands are kept basic and easy to learn and remember.


Commands
/eternallight reload
- Reloads the plugins config file.
/eternallight version - Checks the plugins version.
/eternallight renderdistance <distance> - Sets the render distance for the display.
/eternallight reloadMappings - Reloads the mappings.txt file.
/eternallight resetMappings - Resets the mappings.txt file back to default. This is recommended after updates.
/lightlevel or /ll - Toggles the light level overlay.
/lightlevel mode [mode] - Toggles between the active modes for the light level display.
/lightlevel target [target] - Sets a target entity. When a target is set the display modes SPAWNABLE and ALL will be tailored to that specific entity. If the entity only spawns in a specific dimension then it will always show as safe in other dimensions.
