Same reason people place lights on the wall or ceiling in real life instead of holding them. Holding them takes up valuable arm space. Also, particular to Minecraft, it's not going to prevent a dark room from spawning skeletons to simply walk in with a torch from time to time. You'd still want to place them.Quote from holydragonknight
Then why have placeable torches at all?
But I suspect that dynamic lighting like that -- that has to change every time the player moves -- might be very demanding on the game. And for a relative little gain. Unless it's not, 'cause I'm not really that computer-oriented. If it's not, sure. If it is, not worth it.

My bad: I mistyped. I was using C2. The C3 preview, extracted, changes nothing. Same message when I attempt to open the Magic Launcher.

Well, things just got weird. Extracted via the double-click, didn't change any of the directory stuff. Attempts to use the Magic Launcher result in a message box titled Launch4j which reads "The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the path specified."
Deleted the Magic Launcher, downloaded again, no change. Since this is where my technical skill ends, I deleted my Minecraft versions, redownloaded, same message. Downloaded older versions of the Magic Launcher (1.2.2 and then 1.0), those brought up the same message. What next, boss?
Edit: Oh, and I re-extracted the C1 .jar, too, and tried. Nothing different.

Gonna throw in my lot with this post. I just downloaded a fresh .jar of 1.10.2, a shiny new Magic Launcher 1.3.2, and a baby-smooth Optifine HD C1 Ultra, and got the same situation. When I jump in, nothin'. No evidence of Optifine in effect.

But also, your thing is important too.

Maybe there should be a kind of block that acts as a waypoint to the nearest Nether Fortress. Something that, once you're in the Nether, you can follow and find fun and adventure.
And heck, why not create a special mob that likes to hide around that block? Add some adventure along the way.

This is probably my favourite sound option. Someone mentioned the Charlie Brown adult-talk, but Don't Starve kinda has the monopoly on that one with the instrumental voices. The squidward nasal huffing is best. And chuckle-worthy.

But honestly, the value of coal blocks is going to be storage more than anything else. With the advent of the redstone block, coal is the most space-tacking resource for me (aside from cobblestone, of course).

Not that I'm saying this wouldn't be a nice feature.

That said, hopefully they keep the fees to a modest amount. Whatever they need to pay for the server boxes, their power, and their maintenance. And maybe a slight, slight profit. Given that this is Minecraft, that'll still add up to a great deal of money.

I don't think it's possible still, but I'm not very savvy at redstone stuff. I'd love to be proven wrong.
