hey can i ask for a command that clears light blocks?

i'd been clearing them manually but i just opened a server and i'm worried about ghostblocks messing up intentionally dark spaces.



maybe something like


execute at @/a run fill ~-100 ~-100 ~-100 ~100 ~100 ~100 air replace lightblock



but on a trigger so i can run it whenever, or even an occasional timer clock



cuz i keep getting ghostblocks and now i'm trying to make dark areas

Thank you for the request, I will consider it. This is getting tracked as issue #48 on GitHub.
Ghost blocks shouldn't be left behind, please make sure you/any plugins (e.g. EntityTrackerFixer) are not clearing marker entities

This data pack will cause very serious performance lag when running in the server. The game version I use is 1.20.4 and the paper server is used. The downloaded data pack version is the latest 1.8.7

Oh damn, looks like there are a lot of entities on the server. Could you run this command and report back the count?
/execute if entity @e[​type=!#dynamiclights:dyn_ignore,tag=!ts.dl.ignore]

Jokes aside, this is very impressive for a datapack. Real-time dynamic lighting simulation is HARD, man. Good work!

Yeah, there was a bug in the build script that didn't include some important folders.. (see #34)
v1.8.2 should fix the issue
