When standing in the middle of soulsand block*, any item (or just a hand) held by the player in first person view is viewed at light level=0, results in very dark textures of both items, and the hand. This was tested with items such as almost all diamond tools held in hands, nether wart, enderpearls, and glowstone blocks. Besides darkness of items increasing, the sky becomes much darker even though the player is surrounded by sources of light.
To reproduce:
1. Place soulsand
2. Grab any items and use standard first person view
3. Scroll through the items in the hotbar - you will see that they have very dark textures.
4. The sky will darken as well even if it's daytime
*Note: If you stand near the edge of soulsand block, textures won't darken. It happens only when you stand in the middle of the soulsand block.

This is what the game does when your in a block too.
added way back when they gave chests a block model instead of letting them be full cubes.
The game seems to think you are inside the soulsand block and think that its a full block.
another example of this happening is a mob inside a wall.

When looking at your character in 3rd person, your feet go inside the soulsand when standing on it.

I believe this is fixed in 14w30b.

Ok, If you load a fresh world on this snapshot and place a soulsand block. Stand on it and the light levels are normal. Place a dirt block on top of the soulsand, then destroy it. If you stand on it now, the light level is 0.

Video of issue as of 14w30b

Maybe this new behaviour is caused by the fix of MC-7508
kumasasa
Forward resolving this to MC-48294 (more duplicates there)
migrated
this is not fixed, can a mod reopen this issue?
(or MC-48294, but I think the description from this issue fits more with the bug)
kumasasa
Cannot confirm. This issue is (at least for me) fixed.

when I look at the sky in your screenshots. It is, in fact, black when you stand on the soulsand. It's not the entire sky that becomes black, but only the sky near the horizon
edit: oops, I missread the title. I thought this issue was about the sky, not the item. Should I create another ticket?
kumasasa
The dark sky issue is partly included in MC-47591 , but feel free to make another ticket of this issue.
kumasasa
Dark sky is a separate ticket now: MC-51150
