Lighting calculation below a specific terrain level. :

george1979k · Mar 3rd 2016

Hello Red51.Looks like there is no light calculation below a specific level.I tried to lower the ground about 500 blocks so I can build some tall structures but there is no sunlight down there.Torches do work but light up a small area.That was pretty disappointing. Will there be a near future update that will fix that so we have light all the way to the bottom of the world?Thanks.

I will have a look at this issue Can you eventually tell me your Y coordinates where the game no longer updated the sunlight?

Certainly Red.It starts at Y=0. Maybe -1.Right there.

Unloaded chunks in the horizon where there is no light

Hello Red.I wondered If you had the chance to look into that issue with lighting below Y=0.I dont know If its something tough to fix or...
I can say thank you every day for creating such a nice game that we all truly enjoy so much!

Yes, I've looked into this issue Unfortunately it cannot be changed easily (at least it cannot be changed atm without a performance penalty), I'm afraid we have to wait until the lighting system will be reworked
