On the modpack I've been working on for fun, the main theme is darkness. And the only way I want people to obtain light is by using a wireless light, instead of torches or fire, or glowstone.

Does anyone know a way to disable, or at least lower, the amount of light given from things like torches, glowstone, and fire.

Also, I would like to know a way to disable fire from staying forever on netherrack.

You could just, ya know, disable torches, glowstone, and make flint and steel uncraftable. I believe that there is a mod to change what drops when you break a block, so that could partially help with the glowstone... Not sure about the fire on netherrack change.

I really don't want to disable torches, glowstone, or flint and steel because they dont just make light.. They can also be used for crafting, and by disabling them I might make certain recipes unavailable.

sprinkles for vanilla has a config for changing the amount of light emitted from any block/torch/etc
may not work for fire

Are you sure? I checked the configs pretty hard, before and after you suggested it, and I never found any option regarding light emitted.

it's named badly but it's like this
blocks {
# In this list, write a list of blocks which you would like to change the default value. There is no metadata support in this.
# So the format is modname:blockname, lightlevel. Putting a # in front comments it out
S:blockLightValues <
#minecraft:glowstone, 0
#minecraft:torch, 12
>
}
at least I think that's what this does never used it myself

Oh this is very strange. My version of Sprinkles For Vanilla doesn't even have a blocks config area AT ALL, what you have shown me is definitely not located in mine.

I am asking a lot of you now, but can you please tell me what mod version it is you have?

****EDIT****
I FOUND THE UPDATED VERSION AND IT HAS THE LIGHT CONFIG. AAAARGH! I'm so happy now, one of the biggest issues with my modpack seems to be solved.

Welp. I can't figure out why it isn't working as I had hoped...

Here is what I have in my config:

blocks {
# In this list, write a list of blocks which you would like to change the default value. There is no metadata support in this.
# So the format is modname:blockname, lightlevel. Putting a # in front comments it out
S:blockLightValues <
minecraft:glowstone, 2
minecraft:torch, 2

>
}
