Death on entering shadows
TheArmyGuy:
I heard some people crashed only when they entered a shadow, so it should be possible to detect if someone is in one.
The idea is that you die when you enter a shadow, as a sort of gamemode. Imagine a day/night cycle with a tall wall that casts a large shadow over the map at nightfall to add a sort of eerie time limit to an area.

somehow I don't think its possible and thats just there graphics card not being able to render shadows on the player's body

You're right
Greek2me:
You could use a loop that runs every couple milliseconds and loops through every brick, using trig to see if the player is in a shadow.

Probably. We don't know. There are so many other bugs in this update that it's sometimes hard to define what individual problems are.
I think that since they are GPU-oriented, they would be client-sided.
