No LightAPI implementations was found for Paper v1_17_R1 about lightapi HOT 8 CLOSED

What LightAPI version do you use and what exact message do you see in console?
And does Paper uses StarLight engine?

from lightapi.

LightAPI 3.5.2
StarLight: Depends on if a non-modified paper server runs with it or not

from lightapi.

Hm... intersting...
LightAPI 3.5.2 should support paper 1.17.1 if paper based on craftbukkit and without StarLight.
Can you give me the exact way/url to download the same paper version that you got? (+ version/build number itself )
Also give me the exact message in console where you see "no LifgtAPI implementations" or like this.

Upd:
I download paper 1.17.1 build 241 here:
But it contains Starlight. Therefore LightAPI is incompatible wit this one.
Where can I get non-modified paper server 1.17.1 without Starlight?

from lightapi.

Hmm, I downloaded the most recent. So chances are it has Starlight in it as well.

from lightapi.

You can check Starlight presence if open jar-file as archive (zip) and search files with names like "starlight"
There path in jar-file "/ca/spottedleaf/starlight/..." also indicates about presence of Starlight

as of 1.17 I don't support custom light sources, as mojang has a custom light block

Hi @Spottedleaf
The problem is that LIGHT BLOCK does not cover all the functionality of setting the light, as it was implemented in the vanilla version of the light engine:

1. LIGHT BLOCK can be set only in the air (it is an independent block) while custom lights could be placed inside other blocks. This allows other blocks to simulate light emission as well.

2. LIGHT BLOCK can emmit light only of LightType.BLOCK, while cutom lights can be set both for BLOCK and SKY types. This allows for natural light from the sky (e.g. inside late dark canyons).

3. LIGHT BLOCK can be set only from min to max world height, while custom light can be set also in one section below and above world. This allows to illuminate structures from the outside of the world.

I am maintaining a LightAPI plugin. This plugin is used by other third party plugins as an API for the ability to set custom lights.
It turned out that servers based on Starlight have a rewritten light engine and LightAPI is not compatible with such servers.
It expected the presence of objects of classes LightEngineBlock and LightEngineSky inherited from LightEngineLayer, through which the plugin sets lights and recalculates its propagation to adjacent blocks.

It would be nice to have this possibility also in Starlight as well, as it will significantly expand the functionality of the LIGHT BLOCK.
It is not necessary to reproduce imitation of all classes and methods from vanilla mechanics. A variant of the interface that differs from the vanilla server is possible. If this is possible, an implementation for servers with built-in Starlight will be added to the LightAPI plugin.
And everyone will be happy.

Thanks

No reaction on my post. Spottedleaf did not answer

That's disappointing honestly. Oh well, If anyone complains I'll just tell them to either complain to the paper devs or switch back to spigot lol

@OpticFusion1 Starlight was included in paper since build 232. Therefore you can use build 231 and LightAPI will work 😄
