Shadows from Rana

Word of Notch post

• Added circular shadows underneath mobs and players.
• Rana first seen, presumably with working animations likely due to this version being uncompiled.
• When playing in Survival, the player now spawns with 99 stone, 99 water and 99 lava.
  • This persists into early Indev when hacked into Survival mode, with an additional 99 stone slabs next to the stone.

Finite water (December 19, 2009)

Word of Notch post

• Added a primitive form of finite water.
  • Water would only spread sideways if the entire layer below it was a solid lake.
  • Later removed due to buggy behavior.
• Water now has an animated side texture.

Dynamic lighting testing (December 19, 2009)

Word of Notch post

• Early work started on dynamic lighting.
  • Per-block light value implemented, but blocks cannot yet emit or reflect light.
  • Issue: Fog in caves appears white.

Dynamic light test

Word of Notch post

• Implemented a form of wall-hack protection.
  • Server checks if there is enough space to walk through an area.
  • Due to latency issues, the player gets teleported back sometimes if the player runs past another player who managed to place a tile in front of the player.

Dynamic lighting (December 22, 2009)

• Dynamic lighting added.
• Lava now emits some light.
• The player can die in Creative mode.
• Rana spawning has apparently been disabled.
