Dynamic Light + Offhand Torch Addon – Never Walk Dark Alone
If you’ve ever crept in a pitch-black cave in Minecraft Bedrock, fumbling to put torches in place just to see a few blocks ahead, you know the challenge. The automate lighting system can feel a little tight—especially for explorers, builders, and mobile users who crave smooth, immersive gameplay.
That’s where the Dynamic Light + Offhand Torch Addon comes in.
With this addon, your light source literally follows you. Hold a torch, lantern, or even a lava bucket, and the world around you will glow in real time. The best part? You can bring your light in your offhand, set your main hand for mining, combat, or building free without sacrificing any visibility. It’s a tiny change with a considerable impact—transforms dark, clunky gameplay into smooth, immersive adventures across survival, creative, and multiplayer worlds.
Why This Addon Feels Like Vanilla… But Better
Real-Time Lighting That Moves With You
At the heart of this addon is true dynamic lighting—light that travels with you. Whether you’re swimming through ocean ruins or sneaking through a mineshaft, any light source you hold (or drop) will instantly illuminate the area.
Each item shines at its natural brightness. A flashlight will surpass a redstone torch, and a lava bucket is able to glow hotter than a jack-o’-lantern. This equals you can choose between high visibility or just a subtle, atmospheric glow depending on different situation.
True Offhand Torch Functionality
The standout feature is full offhand support. Just type /function handtorch in-game, and you can equip any supported light source—torches, lanterns, soul lights—in your offhand slot. Your main hand stays free for whatever task you’re tackling.
This mirrors a feature Java Edition players have had for ages, finally bringing it to MCPE without clunky mods or third-party launchers.
Optimized for All Bedrock Platforms
Whether you play on Android, iOS, Windows 10, or Xbox, this addon works smoothly thanks to Minecraft’s native behavior pack system—no outside mods or tools required. The controls feel natural across touchscreens, controllers, and keyboards, making it especially handy for mobile players who can’t swap items as quickly as PC users.
Performance You Can Count On
Even with successive lighting updates, the addon is still lightweight and optimized. It works smoothly on high-end as well as budget devices. You might realize slight flickering in limited spaces or during fast motions, but it’s straightforward to control by adjusting your light source or digging a bit more room.
Plays Nice with Other Addons
Using shaders or texture packs? No problem. The addon combines seamlessly with other behavior kits as long as you are able to use Experimental Features in your world settings.
Pair it with shaders for a splendid effect, flickering flashlight, deep shadows, and a picturesque atmosphere that makes every journey such an epic.
Why Players Love It
Darkness in Minecraft isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. Creepers hide there. You lose your bearings. Accidents happen.
The Dynamic Light + Offhand Torch Addon makes exploring feel safer and more fluid. You won’t have to stop every few steps to place a torch. Light follows you naturally, letting you mine, fight, or build without interruption.
Builders get added realism, roleplayers get mood and atmosphere, and multiplayer teams get better coordination when everyone carries their own moving light source.

Final Thoughts – Light the Way Forward
The Dynamic Light + Offhand Torch Addon is a must-have for Minecraft Bedrock players who love to explore, build, or tell stories. It solves one of the game’s oldest frustrations—poor lighting—without breaking the vanilla feel.
From deep caves to ocean ruins, your light will always be with you. Equip your torch, activate your offhand, and let the world shine.
Because with this addon, you’ll never walk dark alone.
