RTX Candles Fix - Playtesting Release
Added 2024-10-01 00:48:33 +0000 UTCThis addon finally fixes candles for use with RTX! Along with it I'm launching a new resource pack tweak that introduces differently coloured lights to each colour variant of the candles.
The system this addon uses to upgrade previously generated worlds has been in the works for many months and at this point has finally been refined enough to a level of optimization I am satisfied with. Optimizing individual candle block replacements for custom ones in a massive range around every player was quite the undertaking!
Best of all, the addon is completely stable. No experimental features are necessary! As always, be sure to report any bugs or issues, and post your screenshots and feedback in the addon's upcoming forum channel on the Minecraft RTX discord if you're a member. Enjoy the addon!
Update - October 10th @ 2:24am EST: Improved addon performance on bedrock dedicated servers and fixed issues with candle silk touch loot.

Yes I tried that with a new world where the addon was working properly on Minecraft, but my copy was not having the addon. I think I exported it, I will try getting the world file directly instead. Thanks!

2025-01-08 18:04:43 +0000 UTCThe method I've always used is to apply the addon to a world from the game itself, then just take the world file from there and host it through BDS.

2025-01-06 21:46:54 +0000 UTCI had a question, how would you run that on a dedicated server? Not quite sure how to define/implement add ons, didn't find anything helpful (or that worked).

2025-01-06 21:45:04 +0000 UTCFair enough, thanks for the info!

2024-11-08 21:50:35 +0000 UTCThis one is going to be fixed once 1.21.50 releases, most likely. I'm waiting on the feature from the scripting API in previews to make it to release versions.

2024-11-08 18:15:41 +0000 UTCNew bug report, not sure if this one is fixable at all: Pick-blocking candles picks the custom block (in creative - survival gives nothing as there’s no other way to have the custom block in your inventory before hand, but it doesn’t pick the corresponding candles if they’re in your inventory)

2024-11-08 15:44:37 +0000 UTCI've implemented a fix for this issue in the addon. Be sure to redownload it from this post for it to apply. Thanks for the heads up!

2024-10-10 06:26:50 +0000 UTCBug report: Mining candles with silk touch tools will drop the custom candle item (differentiable by the 3D candle texture instead of 2D). Although it works just like normal candles, it stacks on its own in the inventory and could interfere with storage systems. Edit: It's a bit worse than that - when mining groups of 2-4 candles with silk touch, there's always only a single custom candle dropped.

2024-10-09 23:24:39 +0000 UTCThat seems to have worked. Thank you. I had assumed it just needed to be above the normal the normal candles fix not the entire addon stack.

2024-10-07 03:39:06 +0000 UTCYou should place the Coloured Candles resource pack with the highest priority over all other resource packs in the world, to guarantee its textures don't get overwritten.

2024-10-06 12:43:37 +0000 UTCI added both of these to my world and it does make the candles emit light, however the light isn't colored. What am I doing wrong?

2024-10-06 10:16:00 +0000 UTCThank you for the help. Love your work. Currently my #1 resource pack for bedrock. Especially with BetterRTX.

2024-10-06 08:12:50 +0000 UTCThis is an addon, not a resource pack. It requires use of the scripting API to work, so both the resource and behaviour pack must be activated at the same time. It should be completely okay to apply to realms, since it doesn't require any experimental features that may break in the future. I'd recommend backing up your worlds beforehand, though.
MADLAD3718
2024-10-06 07:40:13 +0000 UTCThe pack only worked when I added it to my world as a behavior pack. Can I use it for Realms or is it stll in progress? I'm currently on 1.21.31 and want to use pack on my realm and/or single worlds.

2024-10-06 07:37:05 +0000 UTCOk I’ll try that. Thanks for your time

2024-10-04 18:37:51 +0000 UTCWeird, since after I disabled the setting that required players to use the world resources candles properly displayed their PBR textures.

2024-10-04 18:30:30 +0000 UTCThis is huge, can't wait to try it!

2024-10-04 18:04:51 +0000 UTCI don’t have any global resources activated. And it has nothing to do with multiplayer because I can’t see it myself. And as I said to you, I tried to create a new world with the exact same parameters and then add the addon afterward, and it worked, the only difference is that the worlds I sent you were created before I downloaded the addon
Mathéo Ducrot
2024-10-03 22:25:35 +0000 UTCThe worlds you sent me have a toggle set to on in the resource packs section of world settings that require players that join to use the world's resource packs. You probably have a pack compatible with the addon activated in your global resources but not activated in your world-specific resources, which is what I believe is causing your issues.

2024-10-03 22:06:00 +0000 UTCI tried to create a new world with the exact same texture pack and it worked perfectly so I don’t think it comes from this. I also tried to remove every pack of those worlds and still nothing
Mathéo Ducrot
2024-10-03 14:08:21 +0000 UTCHey, I realized a few things about your worlds. They're both using Radiant Pack RTX, which simply does not contain PBR textures for candles. This is presumably why you aren't seeing the addon work properly.
MADLAD3718
2024-10-03 05:57:12 +0000 UTCHey, thank you for your reply. You can download here 2 of my worlds that I tried and didn't worked : https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/09fDFTBrS5N8EbyYndA84PVAw#MCWorlds There are some others textures packs and addons in them, some come from the marketplace but I've tried to create new worlds with the same packs and it worked on the new ones so I guess it doesn't come from the marketplace addons and packs. I play the latest version and the most recent world was created like one week ago. I don't use experimental features or realms, just classic multiplayer
Mathéo Ducrot
2024-10-02 22:10:27 +0000 UTCMind sending me the world so I can test it? I specifically designed it to work on older worlds. Some other useful information would be the game version you're playing on and any other world-specific aspects, like if it's on realms or uses experimental features. I'd really like to work with you on solving this!
MADLAD3718
2024-10-02 06:15:03 +0000 UTCWhen I add the addon on a previously generated world, it just doesn't work. I've tried to create a new world without the addon, and then add it afterward, and it worked, but it doesn't work on any of my previous ones. Do you have a solution by any chance ?
Mathéo Ducrot
2024-10-02 03:52:44 +0000 UTCThis should be resolved now! I accidentally exported the addon with the incorrect file type. Thanks for leaving a comment!

2024-10-01 03:25:47 +0000 UTCThe candles fix addon fails to import for 1.21.31, says no pack version or description
