If you're going to make torches expire over time, please do us all a MASSIVE favor! Especially now that we have stuff in online servers!
I like lanterns, I like the idea, and I like the idea of torches too, but please simply REPLACE the current torches in-game with lanterns and change the crafting receptive for the future, but REPLACE OUR PLACED TORCHES WITH LANTERNS. Then add in torches with these new properties. :biggrin.gif:
Why? We're used to having this permanent light source in certain areas. You're going to wreak everyone's map if torches can suddenly die, making us scramble to swap them out with new lighting... :tongue.gif:
I beg of you, do this for us!
Otherwise we're going to quickly find ourselves in the dark with some unwanted guests...

I'm pretty sure he is going out with what he planned, NO TURNING BAHCK
Your faces when notch makes lanterns unable to be destroyed and moved.
Heh, although I wonder if Notch will allow lanterns to be a portable light source--especially if they are tough to make.
Keep in mind: Portable light source is NOT a superior solution to standing light. It is for a Peaceful map, but not for anything more difficult. Mobs can still spawn in the shadows you leave behind. :tongue.gif:

I'mma go stock up on weapons just to be safe. And iron, just because I figure he'll use that in the construct of the lantern. Maybe wool, too. Wonder where he'll get the oil... Perhaps it'll be a new liquid in Minecraft? That's gonna be messy.

The current engine does not support a moving light source. I'm pretty sure that it does not support a brighter light source either.
"I love how supporters of finite torches say they want a more challanging game and then in later threads talk about using peaceful mode when building."
Everyone should have voted yes as the only people who would have voted no probably hasn't put any time into building their base, while some of us have massive bases everywhere, maybe thousands of torches we have already placed.

Notch didn't ask for your opinion, he made an announcement with a release date.
Deal with it.

Orly? Where?
If on his Twitter, I know not of it. >_> I won't go near twitter.
I think it was on one of the podcasts. I'm not sure.
Exactly. Your information is unreliable...
Not to be mean, but even you're not sure. Hence the thread. Mind editing your above post then?

Of course. :tongue.gif: But I'm already betting it'll glitch somehow in the first week. Can't complain, the game is still Alpha.
But I'm more worried about the thousands of torches already set in my maps.
Source please.

Not to be rude but this is where you post your opinions.
