Slow performance due lighting?
I don't know about anyone else, but week 8 snapshot is extremely laggy for me. I suspect it is due to the lighting changes and stuff, but I have no idea how to test it. (12w8a is pretty much unplayable...) -- (Talk)(c) 17:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Haven't had any real problems besides redstone circuits. Setting Smooth lightning to on made it run faster by the way. Getjack 21:57, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Twice my entire system (Windows 7) froze for 60 seconds or so, possibly while creating and rendering chunks, then just snapped back to normal. The second instance was accompanied by the sort of bugged lighting that tends to appear when generating chunks too quickly.  I haven't seen this behavior in a few months, so I think it's something changed in 12w08a. Pareidolon 05:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Personal opinions and ideas
Lately there are many ideas for MC that are listed under annoyance, however, there is no rule against it. In my opinion they are mostly unrelated to 1) the snapshot or 2) the working game and are more of a personal nature of what could be changed. My question is how to deal with that as a user? Delete them, contact a mod or - if possible - send a message to the "owner of the bug"? Usually i'd say "contact a mod" but with things like the "block for redstone"-discussion those edits could become unnecessarily large. Getjack 21:53, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
