[1.7.10]Light value?

[BuddingDev]

I know there is a setLightValue stuff in the class block.

I know the minimum is always zero (kind of common sense)

But anyone know what exactly does "Light level 15" translate into code?

[Belpois]

Minecraft has 16 different light levels, 0 Being the darkest and 15 being lightest.

 

Light Level 15 would equal to the maximum light level a block can reach.

 

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Light

 

In code the range is 0F to 1.0F

 

float lightValue = 0F;
lightValue = 7/15; // Result 0.467F;

 

But any value from 0F to 1.0F would work

Sorry for offtopic but where we can find texture file with ligh, if it exists.

I don't think there is a texture for light

[SSslimer]

In earlier versions there was but now I cant find it. Maybe they us sth with OpenGL.

Now here is an interesting question:

What if a [stroke]noob[/stroke] newbie called setLightValue(100F)?

How will Minecraft react?

I guess there is only one way to find out!

 

Although, I'm pretty sure it still is capped...

<Nitpick>

float lightValue = 0F;
lightValue = 7/15; // Result 0.467F;

 

Actually the result there would be 0, because neither of those numbers (7 or 15) are floats.

Draco, they should totally add the <nitpick> tag to HTML5.

HAHA Damn! I knew I should have added the float notation after the number, but my head just said this is an example no one would care , I was wrong hehe.
