Sphax trap doors...

[Frost_Turtle]

I have a friend who says that if you're using Sphax or a texture pack that has no holes in the trap doors that light will not pass through them. I disagree and was looking to see if this was true or not.


Thanks,

The textures have no effect on the lighting a block allows through it.

The light properties of a block are hard-coded to the game (or mod), so the textures could be absolutely anything.

It's possible that your brain perceives it to look lighter as you look at the block just because you can see the lighter areas behind it, but it's not lighting up the area on the darker side any more or less.

Exception if you use a shader mod... The visible shadows will not pass through filled textures. Bit it's just a cosmetic feature.

As Hanfox stated, the real light of the game (the light level) doesn't take care of the textures
