Portable light catalog: all 83 items

Find out how brightly an item shines, how far its light reaches and whether it works underwater.

Dynamic Item Lighting 1.3.1Java 1.21.1NeoForge

These guides describe the October 23, 2026 source snapshot. Two different downloads share the 1.3.1 label; neither was confirmed to match this snapshot.

Look up a bundled light

These 83 rules apply to existing vanilla items. Hold the item in either hand or drop it on the ground, subject to the active source policy, water conditions, discovery distance and quality selection. Item acquisition is unchanged: a lighting rule does not make the Light block or End Portal Frame survival-craftable.

The illumination is visual. It does not change world-light data, mob spawning, crops, AI or F3 values. Keep using placed lights for gameplay light requirements.

Your server can change these defaults. Use your browser’s Find command to look up an item name. Exact item IDs remain available in the expandable reference below.

All 83 bundled rules

The pictures show an item’s appearance, rather than the light it gives off. Conduit and Ender Chest use texture samples, so those two pictures do not show the complete item. Vanilla artwork © Mojang/Microsoft; original wiki layout.

Radius is in blocks, rounded to two decimal places. It marks the fade-to-zero boundary, not full brightness throughout that area. “Dry only” and “Water only” test the source origin; rainfall does not count as submersion. All bundled rows permit both held and dropped use.

A held Redstone Lamp uses level 15. A helmet powered by a redstone lamp defaults to level 14 and belongs to the separate headlamp system. Glow Berries held as an item use level 5; eating them gives the level-10 Luminous effect.

The Glow Item Frame entry refers to the held or dropped item, not a placed frame source. Spectral Arrow likewise refers to the item, not a projectile scan. See light-source behavior for source selection, tinting and exclusions.

Exact item IDs and RGB colors

Row numbers match the player table. Each row represents one exact-item rule, counted once despite matching server/client resource copies. Display names come from the wiki’s existing Minecraft 1.21.1 English-name inventory; they were not generated by title-casing IDs.

Every server rule has locator src/main/resources/data/dynamicitemlights/dynamicitemlights/items/<suffix>.json, with a matching copy under assets instead of data. The structured catalog records full IDs, names, levels, radii, water modes, colors, held/dropped flags and per-row report pages. No zero-radius entries occur in this emitting catalog.

The PDF rows were compared read-only with the supplied companion CSV and all 83 server/client JSON pairs; their catalog values match. That check does not prove either local JAR matches the source snapshot, and it does not verify runtime emission. Article verification remains PDF-derived.

Item pictures and catalog source

Previews use native Minecraft 1.21.1 flat-item artwork or static projections of its JSON block models. They show appearance, not emitted light or a live game capture. Conduit and Ender Chest use their declared texture references because their inventory forms use special entity renderers; those two thumbnails are not full item renders. Vanilla artwork © Mojang/Microsoft; original wiki wrappers.

This table captures the source-based 1.3.1 report’s complete Appendix A. Server/pack rules can override these defaults. Use your browser’s Find command for a name; the technical table below also includes every exact item ID.
