what is the maximum light level (number) it is possible to have emitted by something? It's just that I am making a mod, but a certain block does not emit light any brighter than a torch- even when I set it to a ridiculously high number- so, if possible, how can imake it brighter than a torch?

The maximum light level is 15, althoug nodes can only emit 14.

Could I make it so that when my lamp turns on it spawns something like a radius 10 sphere around itself of invisible non colliding light emitting nodes that won't stop you placing blocks in their place and that won't spawn in place of water etc?

Thankyou, so I could change that so it is an ABM in the code and spawns my own special 'invisible light' block?
