I have been interested in farming, and have noticed on the wiki that some plants need a least 13 light to grow certain plants (http://wiki.minetest.net/Farming). So what is 13 Light and how do I know how much light my plants are getting?
P.S. does torch light count?

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Wheat and cotton grow, when the light is more than 13.
Torches spread the light of MAX_LIGHT - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
So, torches won't work to let plants grow.
You need something which glows more - example: moreblocks' super glow glass

Re: Light
So... what do I do with these? Also I tried the more-blocks MOD, however it failed by saying that it failed to load and run "init.lua."

Did you use the right name moreblocks so without -master. Did you install also the dependencies?

RabbiBob's boblocks:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1274
qwrwed's lightplus:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3332&hilit=lights
There are more out there, sometimes in mods who's name doesn't give a hint of it.
Though it looks like a lot of work, you could take your time to browse through the mods in mod releases and modding general.

Re: Light
Mesecons lamps also give 14 light, just for the record. You can see an excellent example of efficient plant growing on Megaf's server 4.0.

Why let the ground limit you when you can reach for the sky?
Back to college now, yay for sophomore year schedules. :P

Re: Light
Yes I have renamed it, and I have also installed everything it depends on. However I have found a plugin called "Magma Tools," which emits enough light to grow plants.

Do not call me -minetest.
Call me DS or DS-minetest.
I am German, so you don't have to pm me English if you are also German.
The background is a lie.

Re: Light
You need something that emits 14 light just besides (non-diagonally) or above the crop, such as Super Glow Glass. Torches won't work.
