Directional block lighting is incorrect relative to the sun's rising and setting direction

XMLWordPrintable

    • Confirmed
    • Lighting

      Since Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4, the location of the sun has been changed from rising in the north to east. However, the sunlight that displays on blocks are still from the north, despite the sun's altered location.

      The lit part of the block is facing the north, and the side of where the sun's rising is east. Yet, the east side of the block appears darkly lit.
