I think it would be awesome if you could have the torch in your hand, and it would light up you surroundings :wink.gif: It would make it so awesome to explore caves and stuff if you could bring a torch in your hand, but then if you where to meet someone, like a creeper and wanted to change to a sword, you would not have light anymore :biggrin.gif: Super realistic and awesome :wink.gif: I don't know if it should be a special kind of torch that was able to be brought with you as a light source, but i think that it would maybe be a bit OP if it where the same kinds as the one on the walls and they lasted forever. The ones tat are on your walls should last forever, it would be very annoying if you had to change coal, but maybe the ones that you brought with you needed some more coal or something after a while? I don't know. What do you guys think of this idea? And if you think its cool please comment and make the post bigger so that Notch might see that many people want it :wink.gif:
Jeb said that dynamic lighting wont go into the game because they have to think of people with bad computers that already lag playing minecraft because this would make them lag a lot more and if it did go in he would make it optional like smooth lighting or the render distance but it would be a pretty cool freature
Though if so it should burn out
I say ADD IT TO THE GAmE!
