MCPE-159488Lights are displaced from their source in RTX
Lanterns (of both soul and normal variant) now distribute randomly placed point lights in the surrounding area of their location. This results in the game appearing to emit light from no visible light source in those positions.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enter any world with Ray Tracing on
(You can use this pack to test the issue) - Enter any area of the world where lanterns have been placed. An Ancient City is a good example of this.
Observed Results:
Random positions around the lanterns will have a point light placed, making it appear as though light is coming from nothing in those locations.
Expected Results:
Lantern's point lights should only be positioned in the proper place on the block, similar to how they functioned in previous versions of the game. Light should not emit in places where there are no light sources unless a Light Block is placed there.
Bug Analysis:
Here you can see how row of lanterns cast a point light every other block in positive direction equal to double the chunk relative X coordinate of each lantern.
Here is a bigger view. The upper left chunk is casting point lights all over the 3 neighboring chunks, with each point light being offset by double the relative coordinates of each lantern.
With this information it's likely that this bug is caused by a simple logic error where the point light's location offset from the origin of each chunk a lantern/end rod is in is accidentally doubled.

Created Issue:
Ancient Cities have incorrect point lights with Ray Tracing
Ancient Cities now have several incorrect point lights randomly placed around the structure. This ruins the look of the strucuture and the theme of the "Deep Dark" by getting rid of any darkness that was previously present in the area.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enter any world with Ray Tracing on
(You can use this pack to test the issue)- Enter an Ancient City
Observed Results:
Areas in the city which previously worked as intended and were dark in their apropiate placed are no longer that way. There are randomly placed point lights in nearly every location in the structure, ruining the darkness that was previously present.
Expected Results:
These areas in the city should function as previously, having no randomly placed point lights in any location at all. This would match the functionality seen in previous versions of the game, and would retain the intended darkness that was present to exaggerate the atmosphere and experience.

It turns out that lanterns were the culprit for the point lights, I've updated this report accordingly.
Seeing this issue in a RTX enabled world (pc) on realms vs ps5 on same realm Up voting to verify. Had torchlights at the end of the room but it didn't emit enough light for the RTX (which hasn't worked well since update) On RTX showed way way to much black in the aisle
Is there any way to solve this in game? After placing lanterns I have random lights scattered all around
