    • Confirmed
    • Rendering

      Some entities are not rendered as bright as they should be when used as the 'displayEntity' (or rather, the 'summoned mob') of a spawner.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Place down a monster spawner, or trial spawner
      2. Use a blaze spawner on it
      3. Tick freeze for easy observation
        /tick freeze

      Observed & Expected Results:

      - The blaze is rendered very dim compared to when the blaze is spawned as an entity.
      - The blaze would be rendered exactly how it is rendered in entity form.

      Notes:

      1. This also affects all entities that are burning:
        /give @p spawner{BlockEntityTag:{SpawnData:{entity:{id:"minecraft:zombie",Fire:1000,HasVisualFire:1b}}}} 1
        
      2. Currently affected entities are:

      Code Analysis:

      The entities listed are affected because they override the `getBlockLightLevel()` method inside `net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity` by always returning 15 (the brightest block light level) instead of using a shader to render brighter like done with the emissive 'eye' layers of entities such as spiders, endermen, or phantoms (which all behave normally inside spawners).

      The regular behavior for entities:

      net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity
      
         protected int getBlockLightLevel(T entityType, BlockPos blockPos) {
            return entityType.isOnFire() ? 15 : entityType.level().getBrightness(LightLayer.BLOCK, blockPos);
         }
      

      (As an example) The behavior for blazes:

      net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.BlazeRenderer
      
         protected int getBlockLightLevel(Blaze entityType, BlockPos blockPos) {
            return 15;
         }
