First: if (y < 0 || y > 127 || x < -8 || x > 16 || z < -8 || z > 16) -- why the "16", not "8"? Second: All these new Location(...) calls got to hurt for no good reason; why not change the method signature to recursiveLight(Location, byte) and add up(), down(), south(), west() and so on methods to the Location class to get the neighbours? Third: Use raytracing. Fourth: profile, profile, profile.

| Oct 31, 2011 at 0:28 | comment | added | user10835 | I did my math wrong. Sorry :P. Changing. But the reason why you need to go though so many is you have to "bubble out" from every block until you hit a light level greater than the one your setting. That means every block might get overwritten 5-10 times before it hits actual light level. 8x8x128x5 = a lot | |

| Oct 30, 2011 at 1:27 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Something is horribly wrong if you're doing 2 million blocks per chunk - especially since there's only 8,192 blocks actually in an 8*128*8 chunk. What could you be doing that you're going through each block ~244 times? (could that be 255?) | |
