Which Server? Specifically the IP.

Have you tried restarting the server, or giving it some downtime before reproducing it?

Posting over and over again will not resolve the issue any faster...

I had a similar situation:

Reproduce:

1: Have flashlight with battery attached in inventory
2: Equip Flashlight in hands. Turn it on. Press Spacebar to have itpointed ahead.
3: Fill your inventory
4: Drop the On flashlight
5: Fill the slot the flashlight was in so that your Inventory is ENTIRELY FULL
6: 'HOLD FLASHLIGHT IN HANDS'

Conclusion:

Several problems have arose in the times I've reproduced this. First, the flashlight would not produce any light at all. After relogging into a nighttime server, the flashlight DID produce light- but in the wrong positions. When holding the flashlight in front of you, the light would be pointed at the ceiling. Meanwhile, when at at your side, the light would act as if it was held in front of you.

Any ETA on a fix?
