This bug i think is due to the incorrect velocities of the particles when breaking a block

Still a concern in 08a and 10b

Happens with any particle (partially) inside another block. Attached screenshots showing difference between 1.7.10 and 1.8.

@unknown, that's MC-925

Sonic: Yeah, I looked at the related issues after commenting, but I figured my comment wasn't off-topic enough to require an edit.

Breaking blocks from below still produces dark particles in 1.8.1-pre1.

Itouch2 2015-01-15T16:33:38Z

Fixed in 1.8.2 (pre 2)

Dark torch issue still happening in 1.8.2 full. Screenshot supplied. Left torch acted same as right torch until the block above was removed. World is new.

Cannot confirm in 1.8.2.

Further to previous. Still happening for me in 1.8.3. Additional testing seems to show that opaque blocks above the torch still make for darkened torch flame, but an otherwise opaque light/chest-blocking "double slab" block does not darken the torch in the same way!

Note that all of this only applies to torches on the side of a block and underneath another block. Upright torches (on top of blocks) do not seem to be affected when a block is above them.

I still cannot reproduce in 1.8.3.

lagomoof, what operating system are you using and what version is your graphics card?

lagomoof 2015-02-20T23:02:34Z

OS is Windows 7 64-bit. Graphics card is NVidia GeForce GTS 450 with latest drivers. Java 1.8. I had been using Optifine on 1.8.1, but clearing out the .minecraft directory and starting afresh has had no effect.

No change by making NVidia driver aware of minecraft.exe specifically.
