 Description   

Minecraft PE v0.16.0
Motorola Moto G4 Plus
Android 6.0.1

Very often, especially in caves, there will be a very dark area right next to a lighted area, with a sharp boundary between them. Screenshots 1 & 2 show this from either side of the light/dark boundary.

Also, destroying some of the blocks on the dark side of the boundary does seem to allow some of the light into the dark area, as shown in shot 3

I see there have been reports similar to this before, but they were all with much older versions (0.9.*), and have been closed. Prior to 0.16.0, it would happen very rarely. But since 0.16.0, it seems to happen a lot, so this "feels" like something new.

This bug is still present in 0.16.2 but seems to be specific to the player.

When playing on a local LAN game on Windows 10 the shadow errors are sometimes not visible to all players connected to the same game.

The invalid shadows can be triggered by a exploding creeper where the generated hole sometimes contains invalid lighted spots.

Reuploaded original screenshots, 'cause I'm an idiot.
