Summary

  • Add an Entity Lighting option next to Lighting in Newer Versions in Settings → Render → Advanced… → Other Settings.
  • The option is independent and defaults to off, including for existing profiles that have newVersionsLighting: true. It is persisted through the existing renderer option storage.
  • Entity lighting only takes effect when world lighting is enabled. Turning it off keeps entities fullbright without changing block lighting.

This client option uses the entityLighting renderer option/runtime flag from the corresponding minecraft-renderer PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an entity lighting option that lights entities using block and sky light when world lighting is enabled, and keeps them fullbright when it is off.
    • Added a tooltip explaining how the new versions lighting option affects block and sky lighting and fullbright rendering.

Entity Lighting cannot be enabled through this setting, so the feature is unavailable. Resolve the renderer integration or remove the unsupported option before merging.

Remove entityLighting until the renderer supports it.

entityLighting is not defined in the application or minecraft-renderer@0.1.99 defaults. The options menu therefore reads it as undefined instead of a boolean. The renderer also has no consumer for this key. Its lighting flag is updated only from newVersionsLighting.

Suggested fix
-      entityLighting: {
-        text: 'Entity Lighting',
-        tooltip: 'Light entities from block and sky light. Requires world lighting to be enabled; off keeps entities fullbright.',
-      },
