Normal shading direction is opposite sunlight?

    I made some blocky terrain generation code, and it works perfectly, but for some reason the normals are getting shaded from the completely opposite side.

    As you can see in the video, the sunlight is going right to left, but the mesh is getting shaded as if the light was coming from the left to the right.

    Any ideas on how I could fix this?

    How are you generating the mesh normals?

    Nevermind, it seems that it was a bug with my material. I don't know how it happened, but making a new material fixed it.
