Shadows cast from the sun? Or something else?

I also see that torches cast orange tinted light now.

Now if only you could craft a torch that lights up when you hold it in your hands

Mods do it from ages, notch just have to learn from them and implement it using his knowledge of the source code (I remember you that notch said many times that dynamic light from handheld torches was impossible...). ;)

But why? Terraria has it an it's an awesome feature. Can't even count how many times it helped me out in the beginning of the game, like when you could throw down torches in holes and it would light the area.

It's useful, and it would be especially useful in Minecraft where falling from height is much more of an issue.

Otter, that's 2D so its not as difficult to write the code.

Notch said that to delay that probably, though it shouldent be too hard if you base it off the torch's code, just make the player Emmit light.

Code possibility

if.inventoryid = *torch id here* is.selected.this = emmitlitelevel = 14

Though, that's probably be no where near it since that code is AS2 (Flash) based.
