Im not seeing the light come off a held torch in the 1.8 prerelease.
This was to be in 1.8 I had read? Also I do not see it in the 'to do list'.
So.
Is this still to be functional soon?
Ah come on, I was really hoping they would do this someday, I have to yell at Notch on his twitter.
He is considering it in the future - but it's simply to lag-inducing at the moment to safely add. He promised nothing, merely hinted it might be possible.
With the smooth lighting I see no reason why this isn't in the game now, it is clearly possible and I'd prefer not to mix the mods in, I play with enough of them as is!
I'd love to carry a torch which cast light while held. (Without a mod, that is.)
The only rumor I know of concerning torches says that Notch intends to make torches burn for a limited time.
Can you imagine if he made torches pop off walls after a certain time limit (like mushrooms pop out of ground without proper lighting).
If he altered torchlight time, id only accept it if their was a actual dedicated light source, like lanterns or something we could use for perms.
I still think a mining hat that put off light would be excellent. I get sick of those huge streams of wall torches after a while ya know. Besides if they went out, the next best thing would be not to use them for long long mining shafts anyways. Wheres mah hat!

There's vomit on his spaghetti already, mom's spaghetti
Notch's shitty phone camera made it look like torches gave off light in your hand, but they don't.
Notch never implemented that and isn't planning to. He never even said he was going to.
It's the shitty 1.8 footage from pax that made it look like that.
It was just a rumor. Carry on.
