Angle of sunlight

I think the angle of sunlight doesn't change during the day.
How do I know which side comes a shadow on my plantation?
It has a forest on one side, a mountain of stone and a mountain of dirt on the other... I could clear the forest.

light always comes from above.
time of day only changes the brightness.

shadows are cast under objects, but not next to them.

This is a light bug.

If you have mapfixer mod installed, you can issue /mapfix command (this is the easy way).

If not, you can build a 1x1 tower until the top gets in full sunlight. Then try to build a platform and destroy it, this will recalculate shadows (this is not the easy way).

Well done! It's works!
Very good Mod, should be default in Minetest.
