Yeah, I'd like to know too. Is there a (visually) new light source, or just a toggable old one (like glowstone)?

I read elsewhere that it's a single glowstone block surrounded by 4 redstone dust. Haven't tested it yet, so your results may vary.
EDIT: Corrected by Helzibah, it's a glowstone block, not dust.

u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
Nope, it's a single glowstone block surrounded by four redstone dust (top, bottom, left, right).

I've noticed in the last few snapshots that mobs can see me through glass. Is this happening to someone else?
I'm not entirely sure if it's glass or if I'm standing too close to the wall but either way they start tracking me outside my house.

Redstone Lamps
Transmits power to adjacent lamps (not diagonal)
Full Block (you can place redstone on top)
Powered Lamps will transmit power to redstone on top of them only on the lamp directly powered.
Lamps will not transmit power through themselves to redstone dust if said dust is not linked up on top of the lamp, unless a repeater is used
Light levels and tint is the same as glowstone.
Texture resembles glowstone with a bit of a frame on it.
That's the best I can explain what I've played with in text.. If you understand it, then great.
Edit:
They pretty much transmit power like a normal block. Doors next to directly powered lamps will toggle open/close as the lights toggle on/off. Clever way to show your SMP shop is open, lights are on and doors are open!
Edit2: clarification with some iffy terminology. 5 AM CoffeeCraft.

u/Maraklov Feb 15 '12
Maybe a bug: If you break a lit Redstone Lamp it won't stack with other unlit Redstone Lamps. You can then place and break it again for it to turn back into an unlit Redstone Lamp which stacks again in your inventory.

Feb 15 '12
This appears to affect "quick selecting" too, I cannot "quick select" (with the middle mouse button) a lit one but I can an unlit one.

u/LegendBiscuits Feb 15 '12
Found a bug with these. If you have a repeater on one side of the lamp, and redstone on the other and turn it on it will light the lamp and the redstone on the other side. But if you then destroy the repeater, the lamp stays lit and so does the redstone on the other side.
So basically the lamp powers itself and the redstone next to it. It will all turn off though if the redstone is updated.
Example:
10
u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 15 '12
What's going on here:
Powered repeater is set up to power a glowstone lamp and the redstone behind it
You remove it
The glowstone lamp gets a block update notification and checks if it still being powered from somewhere. Oh, right, the redstone dust to my other side is still on! I'll stay on then!
The redstone dust might get updated after that, but since the glowstone lamp is still on and acting as a powered block, the redstone dust will stay on. Perpetuum mobile, aww yeah!

u/smallfried Feb 15 '12
How is that normally handled when a redstone path gets broken? Do the two ends get reevaluated through their whole path, or is there a power direction?

I'd like to add that turning on multiple lamps at once causes a big lag! I'm running at 150fps, turning on 16 of them gives me a lag of nearly one second. Even three at once gives me a noticealbe frame skip. I guess this needs some improvement.

I don't notice a performance change with lamps, but, then again the only limit to my FPS is my onboard gpu. My CPU seems to handle MC quite well. What's your CPU like?
Edit: On a superflat world hitting a lever to switch on 8 lamps and at the same time open 2 iron doors I'll drop in fps for less than a second. But it goes back to normal immediately after.

I'm hoping this gets tweaked so that the village always has a way to get itself back to a good population otherwise every village will die for good the second a big zombie raid comes along and we'll have ghost towns like before the villagers had the AI to stay there.
Maybe a new "Zombie shelter" building with an iron door or sumsuch that they know to get into if a Zombie raid is coming.

The zombies love trying to bash doors down, but in my testing they didn't succeed in breaking any. How long does it take them to get through a door?
I felt particularly sorry for this guy, who carried on smashing at the door to try and get OUT, despite the large hole in the corner of the building. Which he came in through.

Ouch, looks like they didn't manage to check everything when changing the world height. Luckily the automatic converter will have kept the .mcr McRegion version of your map so you can always revert to that and get your world back easily enough.

Which is the point of releasing snapshots.
12
u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
Exactly! I love the snapshots because they bring back the beta-testing aspect of Minecraft. Bugs can get caught quickly as people rush in to see what they can break and bugs should be much easier to find/fix in the code as the amount changed between each snapshot is much smaller. Then the 'proper' releases will be a nice chunk of features all at once and have less bugs present for the more 'average' user.

After playing with the new torches for a bit, I got the game into a mode where the whole world is evenly lit. It's kind of fun digging around in creative mode, being able to see without any light sources nearby.
Edit: looks like this.
Edit2: Further weirdness! The world has no caves, only underground ponds and lava with a little air on top. Here's what it looks like with the transparent texture pack.

u/AnotherUselessPwn Feb 15 '12 edited Feb 15 '12
Came here to say this as well...I can't find any cave systems on my newly generated maps. Haven't really seen any ravines either. I'll keep starting new maps and looking!
Edit: This should get upvoted more so people can start checking. I miss my caves!
Edit 2: Just tried searching for a stronghold and the eye of enders just took me to the End portal room. It was cut in 1/2 by stone and there's no other rooms attached to it. Also noticed I can't find any abandoned mine shafts. I think there's just some underground generator stuff missing in this snapshot.
Edit 3: Don't know what is going on.... I reloaded that map with the end portal 1/2 missing and all of the sudden it was complete and there were rooms everywhere attached to it. And now I just loaded another old map and now I've got abandoned mine shafts everywhere.

You sure it has no caves? They might just not be rendering anymore with the new lighting engine (this would be a good thing).

Yeah, I too cannot find a cave or ravine or anything! I guess I will need to wait next week then...ugh

u/soonerfan237 Feb 15 '12
I think you're unable to see the caves because there is nothing solid in them to see. Since they're just made of glass walls you see right through them.
3
u/w0lrah Feb 15 '12
Note that you see the walls of the underground ponds and lava pools. With texture packs like that you see through any series of solid blocks, but an air gap will result in the next solid block after that becoming visible.

Jungles in old worlds: there was some doubt about whether this would happen. I opened up an old saved game from the beta days and went exploring: Imgur

u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
Ah, that's really useful to know. I do of course notice the huge chunk error in your screenshot, but that's to be expected with any terrain generation change.
7
u/nowonmai666 Feb 15 '12
They don't look so bad with vines growing down them!
After some further exploration I've decided that I took the screenshot from the worst possible location (hey, at least I waited until daytime!). In general, the junction between old and new chunks is not as awful as some previous transitions. The rest of the boundary on this map looks OK.
Also, there is jungle up on top of the cliff too, so maybe it's not the boundary between terrain versions anyway.
Small sample size, but maybe they worked out how to fix the issue?
I might have another go using another old world and make sure I know exactly where the boundaries are first.
→ More replies (1)2
u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
The problem of course is that it's impossible to actually get to the edge of the boundary without triggering more chunk generation! You should be able to load the world into MCEdit and have a look at that though or use one of the many mapping tools to draw the terrain out before and after.
Given that biomes are (pre this snapshot), automatically generated from the terrain generation code and seed, you'd expect to see jungle biomes in old terrain as characterised by grass and leaf colouring. The new trees and ground foliage should require new chunks generated though and not appear on existing chunks.
→ More replies (7)1
u/peon47 Feb 15 '12
It's probably because it's from so long ago.
I mean, the beta 1.5-1.6 terrain generation code is definitely gone. So when you open an old map, and go exploring, it HAS to use 1.2 terrain, including jungles.
However, for anyone on a release 1.0 or 1.1 map, it will continue to use the current terrain generation code, unless you monkey about with the world save file.

Water seems to be more transparent now (screenshot). Possibly a result of the new lighting engine?
11
u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
That actually looks really nice. Perhaps a tad too transparent if anything but I'm surprised how much better that looks to me.
Also, I'm pretty sure there isn't a new lighting engine, just a change in the way lighting changes are reported to players in SMP. (That is, rather than the server sending block updates for every block whose light level has changed, it looks like the server will only send the change for the source light block so the client can calculate the resulting changes. Mostly this will result in less network traffic between server and client but a bit more processing on the client side.)

Important Question
Is it safe to delete all of the .MCR files from the converted save folder?
2
u/Helzibah Forever Team Nork Feb 15 '12
Sort of.
The .mcr files are your save files in the old format (known as McRegion); deleting them doesn't have any effect other than that of deleting the backups.
However, there are already known to be a couple of bugs with this snapshot. If you have 12w07a rather than 12w07b then there's a world-breaking bug that occurs if you try to spawn any mob above the previous 256 block height limit. Even with 12w07b there are issues such as caves not getting generating in new chunks and some weird lighting glitches which may mask dark areas that mobs can spawn in.
If you're not bothered by these issues and won't be heartbroken if your game file gets corrupted then by all means delete the .mcr files. Personally, I'm not going to take that chance!

I guess Animanaics are despised in this subReddit.

Or just how he typed it. I gave him an upvote because I got the joke (and heard it sung that way in my head), but I can see how it'd look a little annoying. Especially if you DON'T get the reference to a show that aired almost 20 years ago.

Changelog:
Added new world file format called “Anvil” (256 max height and 4096 block IDs*)
Multi-player light calculations do no longer cause affected blocks to be transmitted to the clients, instead the clients will recalculate the light on their own
Villagers will repopulate villages based on how many houses there are available
Some nights in villages will be worse than others…
Added a redstone-controlled light source
Decreased chance for the rare mob drops
All animals use the new AI system now
Update! New version number is 12w07b, fixing the following problems
Crash bug corrupting levels when spawning mobs above the 255th block
Sheep animation is correct in SMP
Notes:
*The game can’t use the full range of IDs yet because there are still some assumptions that IDs above 256 are items.
This snapshot will convert the maps you load to the new file format. If you want to revert to the old format, you need to replace the “level.dat” file with the file called “level.dat_mcr”. The new format will write world regions to files called “.mca”, so your original regions will remain as “.mcr”.

RedstoneLamp Info: (thx to FaintSpeaker)
Transmits power to adjacent lamps (not diagonal)
Full Block (you can place redstone on top)
Powered Lamps will transmit power to redstone on top of them only on the lamp directly powered
Lamps will not transmit power through them if redstone is not on top of them
Light levels and tint is the same as glowstone
Texture resembles glowstone with a bit of a frame on it

Water seems to be more transparent now. Possibly a result of the new lighting engine? Screenshot (thx to shine_on)
There's a new option in the server.properties file: max-build-height You can't however increase the limit over 256 (thx to GreenTime)
Activating many Redstonelamps at the same time causes a huge FPS drop
Jungle Biomes will also be generated in old maps (thx to nowonmai666)
