Look...if you're determined to be a nomad and not settle down, lighting will definitely be a problem.earthling wrote:Light. For me the scarcity of light has bottle-necked my activities. I feel too uncomfortable doing any but the most timid caving knowing that a creeper can appear out of nowhere and kill me. That my ability to mark my territory and create a safe haven from the infinite mobs is so limited is not fun. As we all know, MC caves can be batshit huge... and ultimately I play MC to carve out a niche in an infinite world, so the prospect of this as a permanent feature- as it stands now- really deflates me. Torch spam is not ideal... but is it simply a failing of the MC engine rather of the game design?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: that's your choice. There's no real limit on lighting, anymore than there was before, the difference is that you have to work your way up to it. If, on the other hand, you choose to run around the world because you feel that you absolutely must have wheat before everything else, well then: no shit, you're not working your way up the tech tree.
You have an in-game problem. Work towards resolving it, instead of lamenting not being able to do it *yet* for pete's sake.
