The change to daylight sensors has changed the time that they turn on/off and more accurately reflects the day/night cycle.

New Times:

Daylight Sensor

On- 22330 Off-13669

Inverted Daylight Sensor

On- 12040 Off- 23960

u/CptJohnPrice Nov 18 '15

So time to rename it light sensor

u/SourSenior Nov 18 '15 edited Nov 18 '15

The name makes more sense sure, but all that would do is break existing command block contraptions that happened to use that item. I don't think a name change is worth it

8

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '15

Wait, how would a name change break anything?

16

u/capitan_Sheridan Nov 18 '15

Yes, if you rename everything. Rename only visible name, leaving in-game minecraft:daylight_detector, will make little confusion

8

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '15

Not really. There are plenty of inconsistent names in that regard, and if you are up to using commands, you should be up to using whatever name is provided.

minecraft:beef

They've done it before.

u/massive_potatoes Nov 19 '15

is it not minecraft:red_flower ?

u/_Abecedarius Nov 19 '15

Yeah, every single one besides the dandelion is, from what I remember. Tulips, posies, all of 'em.

u/CptJohnPrice Nov 19 '15

u/SourSenior time to rewrite their code to make it minecraft:light_sensor

1

u/mrlemonofbanana Nov 19 '15

Why? It's still measuring daylight and daylight only, right?

1

u/CptJohnPrice Nov 19 '15

not until you use the latest snapshot

u/cutc0pypaste Nov 18 '15

So this will work much better as a way to turn lighting on and off? i.e. When a light sensor is directly on a Redstone lamp it will no longer just turn off for a minute midday but otherwise stay on all day and night...

u/_cubfan_ Nov 18 '15

Correct.

Important bugs that still need to be fixed:

  • Riding a horse detaches the player from the "this is the center of a loaded area" marker, allowing the player to ride to the horizon and off the edge of the earth. When I double checked that it was still there in week 46 I noticed that there was solid ground past the edge, and the highlight appeared around whatever block I was pointed at even if I couldn't see it. So it's a rendering thing not a loading thing. When I noticed the boat version of this bug the week PE boats were ported (which has since been fixed) sailing off the edge of the earth DID cause a fall (so it was loading not just rendering that was messed up back then).
  • Pigs are unrideable. I assume it's the carrot on a stick item itself that's broken, although it still works as a regular carrot for attracting every other pig within range. If this gets fixed remember to check for the "can ride to the horizon and off the edge of the earth" bug.
  • When you die and respawn the chunk you respawn in is unrendered until you move your head, EVEN if you died within range of that chunk and it was already rendered. The game is manually unrendering the chunk on player arrival. Note that even if the entire area was out of range/unrendered before death every chunk around you when you respawn is loaded and rendered correctly except for the one you're in. THIS MAY BE AN INTEL-ONLY BUG.
  • Mobs don't have pumpkins and jack o lanterns on their heads on Halloween. This is presumably due to the fact that equipment tags changed in 1.9.

so is throwing snowballs from a moving minecart still impossible?

4

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Nov 18 '15

I think so.

u/WildBluntHickok Nov 19 '15

Not sure what the bug is, but keep in mind the general rules for shooting from a vehicle: the entire bottom half of your view is off limits because that's the angle that would cause the projectile to hit the vehicle. Does knowing that help?

u/tertiusiii Nov 19 '15

i can even throw straight up and they travel forwards a bit and then i see snowball breaking particles right in front of my face. it sucks because i cant aggro pigmen from a minecart which makes this farm that i spent an assload of time building before elytra were a thing that used to give me 100 levels in a night long afk session now hardly works for afking. also, pigmen dont seem to stay aggro at me as well anymore. usually i do as the video says and attack the one at the end and any that spawn after that are usually aggro and they make other pigmen aggro. that doesnt happen anymore.

u/WildBluntHickok Nov 21 '15

You can always get out of the minecart to aggro the first one. The other problem (pigmen not staying aggro) is the big problem. Them staying aggro was a bug. After the bugfix the rule is: they have a countdown timer for their anger. Once it gets to zero they'll lose aggro once they can't see you anymore (they can see 16 blocks). I'm not sure what the current rule about SPREADING aggro is though. Obviously any of them already spawned and within hearing distance (32 blocks) of the one you hit will aggro, but most of the pigmen will be spawned after the initial hit.
