 Description   

When Powering a lantern blocks with a red stone torch or block by setting it directly next to it only one lantern will light. If you space the red stone block or torch one away and add red stone wire then two will light. See attached screen shots.

More information about redstone behavior can be found here.

The reason blocks of redstone power the block below them is because torches would make constant 2-clocks if this happened while redstone blocks don't. The difference between torches and blocks of redstone is that only torches can act as NOT gates.

Comment by Paul Saukas [ 05/Jan/13 ]

Thus one would expext it to energize the first lantren block and then that block to pass power to the second. Same as if it had been energized by a torch and wire. <blocks in air to avoid odd power passing>

But unlike a torch can provide power directly to a block when placed on it. No wire required to energize the block it touches.

< Incoming screen caps. >

As you can see the block is a power source same as the torch out putting a 15 strength signal.

Hmm seems I can not add another screenshot atm ... I may have worded this a bit off The problem lies in the red stone block. The Torch is functioning as I expect.

The red stone block can power the lantern directly thus should act as a torch->red stone wire->lantern. As Soon as it lets me upload it I will add the missing screen shot that sows a red stone block sitting on a lit lantern.

As the red stone block act as a power source. It should be powering the lantern block as well as turning on the light , thus allowing the next block in line to be lit .

[edited for spelling]

A redstone lantern is a solid block, when you put a redstone torch next to it you turn on the light, but do not power the block. When you run a wire, or repeater into it you turn on the light, and power the block, causing it to give off power to the sides. This is most likely intended, because every other solid block has this property, including note blocks, and dispensers.

hmmm i wonder if this is intended
