# Ambient Light Block<\/p>\n

Adds a light block that automatically changes its emitted light level and block\/item models based on the time of day.<\/p>\n

Works similarly to Minecraft’s Light Block. Here is a showcase of a Light Block (left) manually set to level 10, and an Ambient Light Block (right), automatically giving off the same light level the sunrise does.<\/p>\n

Here is a showcase of the inventory item model, which also changes dynamically.<\/p>\n
