If you look at lua-api.txt you will see that there is a field in the node definition table that says how much light it emits.
Now go to init.lua of the default mod to the torch code and you will see that it has

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

light_source = LIGHT_MAX-1,

LIGHT_MAX is defined at the top of ini.lua. So you can only remove the "-1" to make it brighter, but the effect is not very useful.

Changing the lua-apit.txt has no effect because its a simple text document.
And as I said above the effect is realy small so you might not notice it.
