Guys all my light sources have these black smudges after i force update my minecraft, please help
I think I know what the problem is... and its probably not something you can fix by deleting jar files. In 1.5.1 they made some changes to the way the lighting engine works and whenever they make changes to the graphics code, they run the risk of creating incompatibility bugs.
There are few solutions you might try.
1: Update your java install, if you haven't already.
2: If your running java 6, install java 7. You can check what version you have installed by following this link to the java websites version checker: http://www.java.com/...ad/testjava.jsp (Your browser may ask you for permission to run the java embedded on this page, and java itself probably will too. Go ahead and allow it to run since this is the actual java website and all it will do is tell you what version you are running and whether there is an update available.)
if you are unsure which nvidia chipset you have go to nvidia's auto detect page and allow the java on the page to run: http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us

TT2000, you are genius.
It's the rare and extremely hostile lighting bug!

3: If updating or installing java 7 fails to resolve the issue, see if your graphics card manufacturer has an update available for your chipset. these are the links to nvidia's driver page and amd's driver page:
Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us
AMD: http://support.amd.c...ages/index.aspx
If you are unsure what AMD chipset you have, use there auto detect tool available here
http://support.amd.c...to_detect.aspx
if you are unsure which nvidia chipset you have go to nvidia's auto detect page and allow the java on the page to run:
http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us
Hope this helps and good luck!
OH... and on the off chance your running on intel graphics, here is their driver update page as well:
