V1.20 darker scene ?

[DrEngine]

Has anybody experienced visibly darker scene after upgrade to 1.20 ?
Some parts of my house lighted with lanterns are now very dark (they were normally lighted before update to 1.20).

I've tried to relight chunks (/debug chunk relight) and replace light sources (it's totally dark after relight and replacing light sources is necessary). But without success.

EDIT: hasn't changed lanterns light level?

I think it's mostly likely a weather effect. If the weather is really bad outside, the inside of your house can sometimes be foggy too, for whatever reason.

If you built underground, it could be a side affect of the new underground fog mechanics as well. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but sometimes chunks underground will have a dark fog effect that keeps light from shining quite as brightly. I don't think it's a permanent effect, as it seems to come and go, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Lantern is still 18. Torch is still 14.

Weirdly, I have not checked the Handbook on torches yet. There are two I did not know about -- crude that last 24 hours, and cloth that lasts 72.

Crude and cloth, what? You had me going for a minute. I had to log in to check if there were new torches I somehow missed.

Looks like they just need recipes.

[EDIT]

I don't know what would be more basic than 2 grass and a stick, though. Just a stick, I suppose? Though that's the limiting component to obtain early game.

Ah okay, you mentioned the handbook and I thought it was in the game already. This is something they haven't implemented fully I take it. I know I'm linen rich when I start using it to make torches!

Truth. Unless maybe it's for a stack of 64 or something
