[rough eagle]

import {Entity} from '@minecraft/server'

Object.defineProperty(Entity.prototype, "isInSunLight", {
  get: function () {
    const height = this.dimension.heightRange;
    const time = world.getTimeOfDay();
    if (time >= 0 && time < 12000) {
      for (let y = this.location.y; y <= height.max; y++) {
        const block = this.dimension.getBlock({ ...this.location, y: y });
        if (block && block.isSolid) {
// Is not in sunlight since their is a non air/transparent block above them
          return false;
        }
      }
// Is in sunlight since their is air above them
      return true;
    }
// Is not in sunlight since it is night
    return false;
  },
});

• How to use
  Put the code above in your script

if (entity.isInSunLight) {
   entity.setOnFire(4)
} else {
  entity.extinguishFire()
}

This potentially has to get hundreds of block objects to test them all individually. Unless this gets called very rarely you should look into using dimension.getBlockFromRay

Why dont you use dimension.getTopMostBlock and check if the entities y level is +1 above it? Also this doesnt really take into account transparent blocks since theyre technically in sunlight as well?
