Items your holding go black when you walk on soul sand.
What I expected to happen was that items should stay the same colour.
What happened was that items (and my hand) went black. Also the sky went dark as if I was underwater however not as dark. If you go into F5 mode your hand is seen as normal.
1. Place soul sand on the ground and step on it.
2. Your hand, items in your hand and the sky will go black.

Not related to your bug, but update your Java to the 1.7.0_51 version.

Have you looked up? The sky darkens, too.
Happens with water as well, but with less of a darkening effect.

Still a concern in 10b

This is the same bug as MC-48455 , which was closed as "works as intended"

Maybe we should add labels: head feet player HUD lighting soul sand water

@Carl Nathans:
The debug screen light calculation is separate from the stored light calculation.
Your issue got closed as Works As Intended because the debug screen showing the light level at the feet is intentional. The sky and held item/hand darkening when in water, however, is a bug.

That is what I reported...was I not clear enough? There was bold type explaining that the problem was HUD shadows.
the hand and held items appear too dark. The fog and vignette will also darken. This is because the light level for your HUD is calculated from the light of the block at your feet, not your head.
And Dinnerbone resolved it as "works as intended"...I sure hope this isn't intentional.

I'm also getting this error. But thought i'd comment as the sky going darker is because: If you're render distance is below 16, when there is a block above you on the same x and z coordinates, the sky goes darker, but if on 16 chunk render distance it goes lighter (separate bug). So i guess this is happening here too. (tested from 14w11b)

This also happens if you get your feet stuck in a solid block.

Confirmed for 14w18b.

Confirmed for 14w20b

Also in 14w25b

Still affects 14w27b.

Confirmed for 14w28b

Fixed in 14w31a for items but not for the sky.

Fixed,
Removed the light level part. Included in MC-46667

Darker sky Still present in 1.8 pre 3

Dark sky is separated to MC-51150
