 Description   

What I expected to happen was
When I went into the dark, blocks would appear black or very dark.

What actually happened was
The blocks were completely transparent.

Steps to reproduce

1: Go into the dark
2: Observe how you can see through blocks

This bug has existed since 1.0, and perhaps before
It affects all dimensions and renders entities invisible as well.

Goto http://www.ubuntu.com/ and download a new linux distro.
You can even boot it as live system off a DVD without changing your yet installed system.

Right, sure...
Sorry if I sound stupid but how do you do that? I really don't know much about computers. I am not even sure if this is something I have to download, plug into my PC, open it up and insert it into it, or if I just have to buy a new PC.

It's not a matter of minecraft, on my PC are no see-through-holes.

Intel graphics drivers (and of course the hardware) are known as very error prone - Get a new driver

Minecraft renders the rest of the blocks in the game. I think that rendering ones in the dark shouldn't require anything that isn't required to render the ones not in complete darkness. I'd say, no matter how old my graphics driver/java is, this is still a bug. It should be fixed.

OpenGL: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G GEM 20091221 2009Q4 x86/MMX/SSE2 GL version 1.3 Mesa 7.7.1, Tungsten Graphics, Inc

OpenGL V1.3 is as of 2001 - get a recent graphics driver.

Your java is way outdated too.

Comment by [Mod] CubeTheThird [ 06/Jan/13 ]

Your java installation is fairly old and could use an update. Do you have the proper (and most up to date) graphics drivers installed?

Advanced openGL doesn't appear to affect this.

Crash report from holding F3+C

Comment by [Mod] CubeTheThird [ 06/Jan/13 ]

Does this still occur if you toggle the advanced openGL setting in your video settings?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 06/Jan/13 ]

Cannot reproduce.

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here.
