Directional lighting projected through a half-slab

There is a torch inside

Even pistons can be used to create, delicate ambience lighting

Some of dinnerbones tweets conserning the recent snapshot

"So farmland is broken. Okay, that's a start! Yay mass testing. Also stairs are darker than you'd expect but that's three characters to fix."

"Okay so turns out the fancy lighting is much harder than I thought, so that's still going to look wonky on stairs/etc for a while :("

"Remember that silly lighting bug where world would generate with big black patches? Well you may not remember it in the future; it's fixed."
