Player renders black in a 1x1 shaft with torch in upper block

To reproduce:

  • dig into the ground 3 blocks, and jump in.

  • place a torch at eye level.

  • cover the space above you.

What you would expect:

  • Your character in 3rd person view – or the items in your hand – ought to be pretty well lit.

What you see instead:

  • Your character is dark, as if there were no light at all.

I think the problem is that when an entity is "inside" a block/torch etc there is no light.It is pretty hard to explain.Well I think any block doesn't have light level on the inner side.
And this is also probably related to the lighting bugs(blackspots/other lighting glitches)

Ville, that makes sense to me and is easy to understand as far as it goes. But even so, the inconsistent behavior remains: a torch at the top of a 1x1 shaft will 'have no light inside it', whereas a torch anywhere else in a 1x1 shaft will 'have light inside it'.
Agreed, perhaps this will all vanish and go away with 1.5

Confirmed in 1.5pre Your torch goes very dark.

This happens with many transparent blocks.

Confirmed for 1.8.2 pre 2
