Created Issue:
When player/mob's head in the same block as torch that's at the top of a 1x1 shaft, entity goes dark.
To reproduce:
- dig into the ground 3 blocks, and jump in.
- place a torch at eye level.
- cover the space above you.
What you would expect:
- Your character in 3rd person view – or the items in your hand – ought to be pretty well lit.
What you see instead:
- Your character is dark, as if there were no light at all.
You can place an additional torch at your feet, and it will remain dark. As long as there is a torch at your head, in that 2x1 space, you will remain dark.
It works with zombies in these confined spaces as well.
You can even make the shaft 3 tall, put the torch 3 high, and jump into it, to see the same effect.
It reminds me a lot of
MC-2799, but whereas that was related to light level of the block, this is more like light level on your player's entity.Environment

I think the problem is that when an entity is "inside" a block/torch etc there is no light.It is pretty hard to explain.Well I think any block doesn't have light level on the inner side.
And this is also probably related to the lighting bugs(blackspots/other lighting glitches)
Ville, that makes sense to me and is easy to understand as far as it goes. But even so, the inconsistent behavior remains: a torch at the top of a 1x1 shaft will 'have no light inside it', whereas a torch anywhere else in a 1x1 shaft will 'have light inside it'.
Agreed, perhaps this will all vanish and go away with 1.5
Confirmed in 1.5pre Your torch goes very dark.
This happens with many transparent blocks.
Confirmed for 1.8.2 pre 2
Affects 1.9.4.
