I was going to plop the base down in the middle of a forest (jungle) so there would be jungle all around it. Eh, I don't know; I'll find a good spot though.

• Download the appropriate version of the mod. If you are playing in single player mode, you only need the client version of the mod. If you want to use Lights Out in multiplayer mode, the server and all connected clients must have the appropriate versions of the mod installed. Antifreeze is a client-only mod -- it works in single player or multiplayer, with no modifications to the server.
• Install the mod by adding the contained .class files to your minecraft.jar (or minecraft_server.jar), and deleting the META-INF folder from the .jar. Detailed instructions for this are available on the wiki.
• With Lights Out, you need to play the affected map only with your fixed version of Minecraft. If you load the world in Minecraft without Lights Out installed, phantom light blobs will start to appear. Lights Out does not remove phantom skylight that is already in the map (though it might if you expose the affected area to real skylight and then cover it again). There is currently no known way to make a map "immune" to this bug when played in an unmodified version of the game.

• These mods fix two particular lighting bugs in Minecraft. There are no doubt many other lighting bugs in the game that these mods do not fix. Though if you post some screenshots here, I will give you my best advice on how it might be fixed.
• These mods may be incompatible with some other mods (particularly if they contain .class files with the same name). On request, I can help the authors of any such mod integrate these fixes into their mod. I'm personally using these mods successfully along with Optifine, Single Player Commands, ModLoader, and Ultra Hardcore. Lights Out will will *not* work with Bukkit, but I am going to try to get the fix merged into Bukkit in the near future.
• I know of no reason these mods would cause any new performance problems. If you want to convince me otherwise, you will have to provide some fairly convincing evidence or technical explanation. Just sayin'.

I've been working on an underground map for the past few months, and I used the 'Nether Expansion Mod' for these light-emitting trees that looked great.
The mod never updated to 1.2, so I decided to delete those light-emitting trees and update to the 1.2.5 (thinking: "heck, the new jungle trees are dark and stuff too!"), but then my map turned buggy..

-The whole underground map had phantom light emitting where the trees used to be.
-It seems as if Steve himself is emitting light because when I fly closer to dark grounds they lit up, and they stay lighted even after I leave..
-Some other changes I made while deleting the trees in 1.1 didn't show in 1.2, as if they weren't saved.

Can someone please help me with this issue?
I know it's not completely related to this particular bug, but it must have something to do with the section-save issue I guess after looking at the video. So at least some idea of what might help would be great.

thank you! i really hope this gets fixed in vanilla. but until then i will be using this.


is there any way you could have it reload the lighting on a part of a map without having to replace the ceiling. because if its a rough 'natural' cave its a lot harder to do that than if its a flat roof.
