This is a mod for MineTest. It's only function is to make darkness and light a valid mechanic for the default minetest_game. In other voxel games, darkness is dangerous because it spawns monsters. In MineTest, darkness just makes it more likely for you to walk into a tree.

This mod changes that in a very direct fashion: you are damaged by darkness, the darker the damager. So craft those torches!

Current behavior

If you stand in a node with light level 7 or less, you slowly get damaged. The darker it is, the more damage you get per second.

Future plans

Darkness meter: similar to the standard air bar and drowning, add a meter for light, or sanity, or something loreful. You only start taking damage when the meter is depleted.

Sunburn: Suddenly, too much light can kill you too! Will need a separate meter.

Dependencies

None at the moment.
