"It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."

Wonderful. A man's death.
*Many deaths later*
All I can find are creepers and skeletons...

This is just asking for someone to photoshop an image of a dark Minecraft cave and the main character from Despicable Me...

I would, but it's 1am on a sunday and I'm a little the worse for wear.

All hail Carlsberg, the Norse God of alcohol :)

I find the changes very fitting to the game, especially the darkness.
I've always found moody setting to butcher light without providing enough darkness and bright being simply too bright.
Now it's just perfect.

As a side effect, mushrooms that give out light of 1 AFAIK, aren't visible anymore.

EDIT: whoops, axes indeed still melt to 3 ingots as mentioned on IRC.

[FlowerChild]

Mushrooms should still be *slightly* visible, in pitch black, but not enough to provide obvious light.

[Grom PE]

Just tested the mushrooms, they give 1/255 light indeed.

[FlowerChild]

Word. I never knew what was up with the glowing mushrooms to begin with :)

That is actually a little sad. I was looking forward to the post from someone talking about how the phosphorescent fungus growing in a pitch black cave led them to fall into a ravine after they got dropped down a hole.

I could not possibly like this any more.

[Grom PE]

Ravines look deep and meaningful, I enjoy it.

(Hmm... now the crosshair looks a bit out of place when staring into the darkness)

Edit: noticed another cool effect: deep down in the ravine someone walked over redstone ore and it started glowing very visibly.

This is perfect for me, since I have some sun glare in my screen, so I have to play on Bright all the time to see my screen. With this update, I get the best of both worlds really. Works just right it seems.

[WeedFather]

Sounds like Minecraft's TRUE "Pretty Scary Update". I think I'm gonna enjoy the extra immersion!

Encountering creepers in pitch-darkness...not so much. D;

[Gears]

Speaking as somebody with nyctophobia, this new addition adds a whole new level of immersion to the game. Now I'm actually feeling genuine fear when I start running low on torches during those long spelunking trips. So cheers, mate :)

I cannot overemphasize how much I love you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
