Setting the Light Level of a Block

I've noticed that there's a Block.getLightLevel() function, but no setLightLevel(). I did some looking around and found that there used to be a way to set the light level with CraftBukkit like so:

Code:

((CraftWorld)block.getWorld()).getHandle().b(EnumSkyBlock.BLOCK, x, y, z, lightLevel);

However, this doesn't seem to work anymore. Has anybody found another way to accomplish this and are there any plans for implementing such a function in the Bukkit API?

 

Shameless self bump. :I

 

Hey,

Check my thread here (it deals with : How to make player seeing better at night).
If you get sample code, please share

 

Hm. Ideally I would like to stay away from having to send additional packets however if I can't find another way, I might have to resort to something related to what that thread is dealing with. If I have any luck, I'll gladly post it here.

 

How you had do it?
Do you finished it?

 

Lighting is calculated by the client, thus there's no way to change it from the server.

 

...Some Plugins before this done it from Server with this:
((CraftWorld)world).getHandle().a(EnumSkyBlock.BLOCK, x, y, z, lightLevel);

And you want to tell me "Lighting is calculated by the client, thus there's no way to change it from the server."?

But I had found something interesting... Its not working in the first try... But if I rejoin there is the lighting... Why?

 

Did you call the update method? not sure if this with what you need but worth a try

 

Because lighting is calculated by the client

I have used this in the past, but it broke with 1.8.1. There is no nice way to do it without a client mod.

 

Naaahhh... That ****...
So I close a Project...
But thx for help guys...
