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)

Template:Unreleased version 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)

Template:Unreleased version 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

Template:Unreleased version 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.
• The player can die in Creative mode.
• Rana spawning has apparently been disabled.
