Naturally generated light sources (fire, glowstone, torches etc.) sometimes do not emit light

I started a new world in 1.4 and entered the Nether. I noticed, that some Glowstone "piles"(dont know the correct word 😉) dont create lighteffects. The bug affected blocks had a grey layer an the texture. After hitting them(block update) all the Glowstones were lightsources and had the normal glowing texture

Also affected light sources:

  • torches in mineshafts

  • fire, lava in the nether

  • end rod in end city

Hitting them or destroying one of them?

I have seen this effect. The game engine does not apply the dynamic lighting to glowstone when the chunk is generated. Usually happens if I am generating new chunks quickly by flying or something. A block update does fix this 100% of the time by triggering the dynamic lighting to refresh.

Confirmed in 12w50b and included all other naturally generated light sources.

This happened to me in 1.4.6.

Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.

1.13 Pre 5: Returning to a tiny island I had previously placed torches on and there's an area that shows a light level of 0 when a torch is very near (just across a chunk border). There's anther torch a few blocks farther away one level lower than the 0 light surface that's in the same chunk and it's not producing light in the area
