History Question: New Player Light Source?

[almund]

It was called Light Cube. Here is some answer why it was removed.

Release 196: Meteorite Lives!

But night doesn’t fall until you can craft torches. (We switched away from freely gifting the Light Cube simply because it needed to be free but was still useless - so it wasn’t really doing the job of making sure players were comfortable spawning into the game at night. The simplest solution (but can appear a little strange) is just to lock the day / night cycle to day until the player is ready to experience night.)
