You didn't explicitly set paramtype to "light", is this is required for the "plantlike_rooted" drawtype? (lua_api doesn't mention when to use paramtype "light" as far as l can see)
(for reference, you declined a PR to set such values implicitly #6246)

[paramat]

Not sure if it is required, will try.
(Yes declined for good reason).

HybridDog thanks that solves it, the plantlike extension probably takes it's light level from the internal value. Will fix in MTG soon.

I still think lua_api should mention that specific drawtypes require paramtype "light".
Here's a list of them (Aug 2017): https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6246/files#diff-7b4242351dd3cf5b2a70c8aa9d12149bR108

I agree it should be in docs, i updated drawtype docs recently but didn't add that information.

Sorry, have little time currently.

the plantlike extension probably takes it's light level from the internal value.

That’s not how it is expected to work. Don’t remember how it does work in fact, however; will check. В Fri, 18 May 2018 18:42:36 -0700 Paramat <notifications@github.com> пишет:
