The /lighting command is a powerful tool for administrators and content creators, allowing direct manipulation of a world’s global lighting.
The /lighting command
It allows modifying the light calculation method, retrieving lighting values at specific positions, forcing light recalculation in loaded chunks, and displaying debug information to analyze propagation and ambient light levels.
This is crucial for maintaining visual consistency, optimizing performance, and influencing game mechanics such as the spawning of light-sensitive entities, which use filters based on light type (day, night, or anytime).
