and it will light up to 10 block's away from you, but will not stop hostile mobs from spawning just give of light for you so you dont have to keep placing torches as you go along.
also after 10 mins it wil die and not give off any light until its recharged, a charger and be crafted like this
maybe a lantern instead? Flashlights seem to modern for minecraft.
Problem solved.
Frankly, Torches are about as disposable as they come. You punch down 2 trees and you have enough wood to make a stone pick, make a furnace from mined cobblestone, make 1 charcoal with planks, make 8 more charcoal using your first piece, make 64 charcoal with those, and so on and so forth until you run out of inventory or wood.

This idea was actually suggested back when people were talking about the lantern idea. (Mobile light source).
But Notch WILL need to change engines for this to work. The one he is using is just to basic for anything like this.
you're talking about dynamic lighting (aka moving lightsources) Minecraft's engine doesn't currently support this, when you place a torch or glowstone is calculate it all out on the spot and updates the areas lightmap. To the guy above, notch doesn't need to change engines he just needs to modify the current one. Contrary to popular belief, minecraft's rendering engine is not a java native, it uses java libraries to execute code but its entirely cutom built itself (uses opengl)
Meh, good mod, bad for the actual game. Kinda unnecessary to have it :tongue.gif: Also the lag of the constant lighting adjustment would suck :tongue.gif:

hope you like this idea
Sorry, just would ruin the feel, just like cars, guns, and nukes.
Try making a wooden pick with your bare hands, using a square box.
