faking light rays with light blocks

was inspired by this phenomenally talented YouTuber named Cooltwo who’s been making these videos about baking light maps into your builds. i wanted to experiment in doing that using light blocks instead of different block textures and while it’s a very rusty proof of concept, i think it conveys the idea/impact on mood in a scene ! all i did was literally “build” the light rays using light blocks. this is definitely something that works better with 1) lower brightness and 2) at a much bigger scale, so id love to see someone take this idea to the next level !
