Think about it. Notch recently changed lava spawning to make springs of it at ground level, and now you can burn wood for an unlimited source of torches... Don't you think there is a good chance that Notch is using this to make it a more fesable update? More over, has Notch said when he is doing the torch/lantern thing, if at all?
I think he is probably going to do one in beta. It will probably be that torches are finite and lanterns(witch you can carry and they give more lite) are infinite but will probably be more expensiv.

Ok dude your spelling makes me wanna die. Its not "witch" its which, and how can something be "expensiv" in a game with no money? Also "lite" is spelled "light".

I think it could be a definite possibility, though I'm not exactly sure. Hopefully though! I mean, I love having new updates to mess around with! :biggrin.gif:
Notch has previously said that carryable lights won't be possible with the current lighting system. Also, he did say that lanterns are low on his priority list.
I'm not sure if it will ever come. If at all, not soon.
Besides, I think Notch knows that we, in general, aren't open to the lantern system. It just makes things ridiculously more annoying, like the Halloween's new spawning system.
And for him to do it right, he'd have to break our saves, 'cause people still have torches just in case, probably.
Or at least, I'm still using up my shitton I made. Not even third through it.
edit: Eion, don't be mean. Yours are wrong too. They're going to use GLOWSTONE.

Why? He said every torch you had before the lantern update will become a lantern.
Because people can stockpile like hell. I have 1.5 large chests left of torches just READY for the update. And I can make many many more. It's unfair for people to get easy lanterns like that. :tongue.gif:
Though, of course, this update isn't meant to make the game easier. It's going to make survival mode more difficult to survive in. And about the free lanterns, that's just the player's choice whether they want to take all those lanterns. I, for one, always make new save files for major updates because I play for the fun of the challenge, and I like variety.
God, I hope this lantern system doesn't go through.
It really don't like the idea of having to relight every torch I make. It would be horrible just to reexplore the caves you have already been through. Walking blindly into the dark just to see where your torch is (risking mob attacks)

What would be unfair is people using inventory editors on their survival saves to get lanterns, just because they will likely be really hard to obtain. Stockpiling is smart. Hell, I've filled several large chests with torches just for this purpose =D

Your torches already placed would become lanterns. It's just now you'd have to craft lanterns, not torches.

How is that "unfair"? People can play the game the way they want to. Using an inventory editor isn't a crime in a personal sandbox game. In SMP, yes, it would be unfair because you would have an advantage over the other players, but who cares how someone plays by themselves?

"Unfair" because they're cheating themselves of the experience, of finding the materials and crafting the lanterns. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying editing your inventory is a crime, I use INVedit on my test world because I use it for testing, not mining. All I'm saying is they're cheating themselves. If they choose to do that, I'm fine with it, you're right, it doesn't matter how they play by themselves. I wasn't trying to flame anyone who edits their inventory in a world which they're using to survive. Calm down :tongue.gif:

Its unfair to creepers! They would think that the torches you place would just burn out and they could spawn again, but you INVedited lanterns in! Anyway, i was hoping for lanterns, but i was afraid you'd be only able to carry them, which means that you'd have to place torches in caves but they would burn out making it really hard to prevent mobs from spawning. Thankfully like some people said above notch is too lazy :biggrin.gif: I just hope the lanterns would be hard to get and could be placed underwater.
As far as I know, he said he was gonna do it in the Halloween update, and it didn't happen. And I don't remember hearing him say anything about doing it after that, so I think it's just not gonna happen.
What is the point of the new lantern system? Nobody really wants it...
i do. Survival should be survival, not how magnificent of a structure you can build. Building in survival should be strategic not aesthetic.
In addition there should be starvation, exposure ( freezing) weight limits( which would actually give you a reason to build a mine cart( i've never found a reason to build one.).
Peaceful/creative mode should allow one to build whatever structures they like

Or maybe like this:
Or even like this:
The torch could be either, obviously, a torch, or maybe glowstone or glowstone dust. Or even lava.
No, any of those would suck!
I think It should be:
[] []
[] []
or
or
[] []
[] []
But nothing with ore or anything from the nether! THat would ruin the game.
I was the second person to use the avatar I have. The rest took it from me. The first I asked, he said yes.
I know what I'm doing. I plan ahead, or get tired and screw up everything.
