Moving Lights 1.21+

Darkness is one of the toughest challenges in Minecraft Bedrock Edition (MCPE). Deep caves, abandoned mineshafts, and long nights often leave players struggling to see their surroundings. Placing torches every few blocks is repetitive and breaks immersion, especially on mobile devices where controls are less precise.

The Moving Lights Addon solves this issue with dynamic, real-time lighting. Instead of static torches, you can carry portable light sources that follow your character, mobs, or items—making survival safer and exploration more immersive.

Main Features of Moving Lights Addon

This addon introduces several features that make lighting in MCPE more practical and exciting. From handheld torches to glowing orbs, it brings flexibility and convenience to every adventure.

Dynamic Handheld Lighting

Hold a torch, lantern, glowstone, or end rod, and light will surround you instantly. No more wasting time spamming torches—your light now moves with you.

Entity-Attached Light Sources

Light doesn’t have to stop at the player. Attach lanterns or glowing items to horses, boats, or striders for traveling at night. Perfect for long journeys or roleplay scenarios.

Portable Light Items

Craft or obtain light wands for constant glow, or throw glow orbs to create floating points of light. These orbs remain active until they despawn or are picked up, making them ideal for exploring dangerous areas.

Customizable Light Radius and Brightness

Want subtle mood lighting or bright survival illumination? Edit a simple JSON file to adjust radius and intensity. This flexibility lets you design the exact lighting atmosphere you want.

Optimized for Mobile and Bedrock Devices

Dynamic lighting often causes lag, but not here. The Moving Lights Addon is optimized with efficient coding and minimal tick updates, so it runs smoothly on most Android, iOS, and console devices.

How It Works in Survival & Creative Gameplay

The addon uses invisible, light-emitting markers that follow your player or entity hitbox. When you hold a supported item, the marker creates light around you without changing blocks in your world.

• Survival Mode: Carrying light makes mining, traveling, and underwater exploration safer without wasting torches.
• Creative Mode: Builders and roleplayers can add cinematic glow to screenshots, builds, and maps.
• Glow Orbs: Toss orbs into corridors or caverns for hovering light points, perfect for guiding exploration.

This system provides an immersive experience, giving Bedrock players a Java-like dynamic lighting effect while keeping gameplay smooth.

Tips and Creative Uses for Players

The Moving Lights Addon isn’t just practical—it’s creative too. Here are ways to make the most of it:

• Enhance With Shaders: Combine dynamic lights with shaders for stunning visual effects.
