Ugghh, I would die if I had to keep relighting my Torches, I use thousands of Torchs in a mine, so I would have to carry around 5-6 Flint and steels just cause they would break so often
So wait, is this thread about L.A.N. Turn based Minecraft?
Anyways, they've been planned since The Halloween Update. They weren't added because they never got finished in time.
He didn't add them because he said the lighting didn't look good,
and an SMP server I play on has a torch mod that makes them work like how lanterns were supposed to work, and it doesn't make any problems at all, so Wedhro you are wrong, and that go kill yourself joke wasn't very nice.

Re: lanterns
Either way, it's not worth it to hoard torches in preparation. However, it would probably be a good idea to have a large tree farm and a stockpile of logs, because it's useful for many other purposes too.
Re: lanturns
No, Notch won't add these; you might find them in a mod sometime, though. :wink.gif:
This was what I immediately thought of also.
I hope notch doesn't decide to use lanterns, i never liked that idea.
The only reason to hoard torches is if they follow through with their previous promise, that every torch in-world would automatically get upgraded to a lantern so people wouldn't have to replace all their torches.
But that was almost a year ago. Who knows what will happen now.
I think he dropped the idea since having to relight torches was just a pain. Since he decided to keep torches permanant, lanturns became pointless. I don't know if he's doing something else with the idea, though.
Alright, ive been thinking about this for a while, i think there should be oil in the lantern update and should be used to make lanterns with a bucket of oil or something.
They were dropped from the Halloween update to make the deadline, but I don't think they will come out at all, there were too many balancing issues. The lanterns were either too easy to make and make torches obsolete or where too difficult and made the game overall too frustrating. But after a while nothing was ever said about lanterns again, so I doubt they are really happening, at least not with the corresponding limited light torch changes.
Personally I find this more scary than the new Endermen. From what I've heard, Torches on;y have a limited time before they have to be re-lit by flint and steel. However, Lanterns are supposed to require glowstone (which means if the torch-going-out thing is actually true) that means you're only running on temporary light until you can finally get to the Nether (which takes forever if you do it legit- I always do.)
If the latern update is coming Notch DID say that all current torches in use will become lanterns and therefore be permanent...
kill yourselfin a Lady GaGa forum.No, you go
kill yourselfSeriously, even as a joke, that's a bit harsh.I just wanted to some clarification over what was previously said.
Hydrolaze said it, I just wanted it to make sense.
Sheesh.

As said above, Notch won't implement them anymore.

Actually if you have been around since the Halloween update you would know that it is not fake. Or a rumor or anything.
But that was almost a year ago. Who knows what will happen now.
What's your information source, other than nobody has said for sure they are not happening?
If the latern update is coming Notch DID say that all current torches in use will become lanterns and therefore be permanent...
Maybe one last small addition after 1.8
Lanturns:
Notch wouldn't add any Pokemon to Minecraft.
And that is why you don't make spelling errors.
