| Description |
The bugUpon pushing or pulling a light-emitting block (see below for affected blocks), the light flickers off while it is moving. This can cause performance issues due to excessive lighting updates, as well as just be undesirable in general. How to reproduce
Affected blocks
Original descriptionUsing the setup in the screenshot, the lamp will flicker when the lever is pulled. Glowstone sometimes exhibits this behavior. |

While being moved by pistons, blocks do not emit light. |

Happens in 1.8.3 and affects sea lanterns as well as glowstone and redstone lamps. It seems that it does not matter whether the piston pushes or pulls these blocks, the flicker happens either way. I tested this using each set up in the screen shot separately. Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding this issue. |

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue. Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. We will reopen it as soon as the requested information has been deliviered. |

In 13w07a, both these blocks flicker, and both when being pushed and pulled. |

Yes, it only works when being PULLED by a piston, not pushed. |

I can't get the glowstone lamp to flicker going up. I can see the bottom redstone lamp going on a few ticks before the glowstone lamp turns on, which makes it look a little inconsistent, but the glowstone lamp only flickers for me when coming back down. |

Glowstone flickers both ways, redstone lamps flicker only down. |

Flickers on the way back down again right? |

Confirmed. The glowstone and the lamp don't appear to flicker, but you can see that the light flickers if you set the time to midnight. |
