Author Topic: Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it  (Read 6715117 times)

I started playing the latest snapshot (12w42b) and... well, I thought I read that slab lighting was fixed?

They reverted it until 1.5

Bluuuhh
At least they included the stair corner stuff

eww...smooth lighting is disabled M, fix that.
Nope, that's smooth lighting. Look at the other corners. These are all just lighting errors

I dont know why, but smooth lighting looks like stuff to me

eww...smooth lighting is disabled M, fix that.

some people like it disabled

I know vechs does, though he's a bit of an enigma


I've been doing good in my jungle temple house. My farm is now working with full efficiency and my mine is very successful.

i tend to disable smooth lighting when i need to make sure how bright an area is

Since the snapshot yesterday we’ve fixed some bugs that were reported, as well as including new sound effects for the Wither, bats, the anvil and finally the Ender Dragon!

Looks pretty fixed to me.

There's still some (very very minor) errors in the world gen lighting, too.

They're not nearly as bad as they used to be, though. New worlds all.

The lighting fixes Dinnerbone did fixed lighting, but they were very process intensive, especially in the Nether with all the light-emitting lava source blocks. Since 1.4's release was nearing, they decided to revert the lighting changes and try again in 1.5. I've heard they are rewriting rendering code completely among other things - so maybe they are basically rebuilding major parts of the game so as such fixes will work without tearing the game apart...

Smooth lighting looks unnatural to me.

Can anyone recommend some must-have mods for this game?
