Please don't tag this bug in version 1.1.2.50. Magma block are release at version 1.1.3.0
Hostile mobs start spawning at light level 7, so I believe this works as intended
Vegito Rekt: No, a light source of level 3 should only increase the light level of the area around it up to 3 when it's darker than 3. It should not decrease the level.
But it should hold the light level when a torch is placed on it and then subsequently removed from the magma block. I have before and after screenshots showing that the Magma block doesn't do so. The darker screenshot is the after screenshot the one with the torch already on the Magma block itself is the before screenshot. I tested it a couple times before submitting the screenshots.
Fors Coyt Anderson: No that's a known bug in Java. Not a feature.
I can't tell what the light level is on MCPE or Windows 10 and not sure how to get that information for those two editions. And yes I own Java as well.
Details do not go unnoticed by users... xD
Cannot reproduce in 1.2.3.6 on Windows 10. As expected, the magma block's shadow was lighter for me near the limit of the torch light.
