Placing torches is such a basic component of adventuring, this is really unbelievable.
yeah, i dont know if it would have anything to do with my mac's specs but it lags really badly, i do think its normal but it seems to have escalated since 1.5, but it doesn't annoy too much as the lag spikes only last for about 30 seconds but it really is just a convenience thing and it would be nice to get it fixed.I do agree that it is normal for programs to lag but it is really severe(on my computer at least) and it can, at times, be annoying
I would imagine this to be a glitch(maybe caused because the game now thinks it is always in multiplayer) and I, myself have experienced this "lag" glitch and my fps seems to be stable when you stay still but as soon as i move it drops from about 120fps to 1fps and it it is quite annoying so please mojang if you are reading this, I am sure most people would appreciate this glitch being fixed, also i am reporting this using 1.5.1 so the glitch is still in the game
If this works as intended, then the intention seems to be to make map making more needlessly complicated and arcane.
