It would be cool, would be simple to add and colored light would not cause a simple problem.

You have no idea how much of a ***** it would be to add colored light do you? Thats like "Herp a derp holdable light sources derp" It would just be to hard to implement and program.

Yeah well when you put you mind to it and get the programming done, you'll come out with a pretty good stained glass window...

those are people who don't know anything about java and class

(nor do i)

but i'm pretty sure that by programing a patcher then this would be possible.
(ex. better light, they said you couldn't change the light engine. WELL NOTCH JUST DID THAT(because notch is badass))

So, (i know this was probably suggested before) i thought of a grand cathedral that i wanted to build... The only problem is that there are no stained glass windows. So i was thinking how cool it would be. Like, you would mix dies with glass and they would make stained glass. This also changes the color of the light coming though.

derp, is has already suggested noob...go back to playing COD. and how about using the search bar next time.

Well...the search bar ain't working for me so deal with it.

(and cod is overrated, Minecraft forever)

yes we know notch will add Adventure mode, but how is it going to work...do we just wander aimlessly or is there a certain storyline to fallow?

This would include storms, cloudy days, rain, tornadoes, tsunamis, ect. ect. just just adds more challenge when trying to survive

I thought notch gave up on the whole temporary torch, lightstone lantern idea. I sure as heck hope so, I would be /soo/ pissed if I had to go to the nether in order to get permanent light sources, as I wouldn't be able to build any large monster free base or mine without them, because I'd have to continually keep relighting torches. I mean creepers could keep spawning inside my base otherwise and blow it all to bits. Also, this lightstone torch idea would make lightstone block useless, as you could get a torch using only 1/9th of the ingredients.

Actually all torches on the map with that planed update was to convert to lanterns, just for convenience...its creating a new world and starting over that was to uprise the challenge

Notch also plans to detail the grid a bit more, as far as im concerned... i believe he plans to make sunlight 16 instead of 15 for the fancy users...this info was from a very early beta post so were still not sure weather this is correct or not, we'll see

its an ok idea but don't you think i lightstone lantern would be better? the light it would put off would be like 16

Lanterns are planed to use light stone, however they are sappose to give off the same amount of light as a regular torches...the reason for this is that lanterns will serve as a infinite source of light when the regular torches become only a temporary light source of some sort...the light stone torches are temporary, however they give off light as bright as sunlight...this may be useful for deep deep mining

Lightstone Torches:

red stone torches let off very little light
Regular torches let off large amounts of light...

Both of these are common to get, but what if this:
Lightstone torches let off massive ammounts of light
now in order to get these you must
1) get a dimond pick
2) get obsidian
3) make a portal
4) go to the nether
5) deal with the gasts
6) get the light stone
7) go back to the regular world
8) craft it like this:

= light stone
= stick

plese let me know what you think
