So this is right on time for me, as I am getting ready to change up my zombie dungeon xp trap; it sounds like now I won't have to rig bulky piston lights as an on off switch.
At any rate, I feel like tomorrow's snapshot is going to the preamble to a lot of new great things in the game.
Now all we need are hand held light sources to be added.
It won't ever happened; Jeb said that dynamic light sources like a torch held in the hand would require a total retooling of the lighting engine, and a lot of gameplay mechanics such as mob spawning.
I am okay with no handheld torch, but lamps...sign me up!

Darn. But this is still cool. Speculations on crafting?

Sweet jesus Jeb let us hang this on ceilings ;3; I dun care if I have to run redstone above the celing, I WANT HANGING LIGHTS IN MY MINES.
But depending on how it is, a toggleable light will be freaking amazing. Imagine a dark hallway that has a lamp set to a timer so the lamp flickers on and off every once in a while XD

THIS IS BRILLIANT AND I LOVE JEB.
The possibilities are literally keeping me from going to sleep right now. And I worked a 10 hour shift over night...
wow that's interesting! Granted, I have been able to make use of some clever ideas from others to make can lighting with glowstone in the walls. I also like surrounding the glowstone with trapdoors to give a stylist look.
Anyhoo, adding lanterns will be awesome, I love the variety!

Actually we do. You can hold torches, they just aren't lit until you place them and they magically un-light themselves when you take them back. :tongue.gif:

I hope it is pretty complicated, actually. I like it when the recipe looks cool and complicated in the crafting table window.
I imagine it is going to involve redstone, possibly a torch, and iron/gold or something.

I must say, Minecraft is finally getting good again :smile.gif:

Where = Iron ingots = glowstone dust. = redstone
And it makes, say 8, or maybe 16? If torches are still reusable, 8. If not, 16.

I would guess that it includes glass and redstone/glowstone (or a torch?).
Maybe there will be a dye for changing the lamp colors? We can only hope.
Don't forget zombie village sieges and armed villagers :wink.gif:
