You have a point, while it's true most Luanti games have the much, much deeper vertical space, VoxeLibre still has it set at -64 for whatever reason. This is especially noticeable when you realize a lot of the generated oceans go deep enough to hit the bedrock. It's even true sometimes for Mineclonia which has it set at -128, both of which are no where close to as deep as they could go. They say it's because of the End and Nether, but come on, you could at least have a couple thousand blocks of depth before you get anywhere close to there. Instead, it's unused space in the Luanti world.
Yeah you can hold light sources but you can't hold anything else. You have to put it down to mine something and when you're deep down where there's a lot you want to mine it just gets really tedious. I think being able to hold it in your off-hand would still be challenging.
I think EmDotRand's criticism is spot-on. The most annoying thing about Mesecraft is the lack of good lighting sources. I don't mind the smoke so much, but there's not really any better alternatives to go mining than to farm pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns which doesn't fit in very well and is tedious. I think having the ability to hold a light source with you would be a much better option. It makes the caves scarier and you still can't just spam torches in the same way you would on VoxeLibre/Mineclonia.
