alright so im pretty sure we all know what glow stone and glowstone dust is. and we all know that to make glow stone we need 4 pieces of glow stone dust. so why not make the dust glow. like if you toss it then it will emit a glow probably as bright as a torch or maby less. and when you hold it it glows just in case you run out of torches and your in pitch black just bring out a glow stone dust ( i will just call it glowdust to save time. ) and you can see a small area around you. but mobs can still spawn in the dark areas. in a way its kinda like a portable torch. but at least this way you cant place it so its not too over powered. or say there is a dark cavern. just toss a glowdust down and you could get a quick view until the glowdust deletes itself. and this way it makes sense that you use GLOWDUST to make GLOW stone. i think this will make a good addition to xbox leading away from pc minecraft
EDIT- Now that i think of it. why not have glow stone glow in your hands too. i mean it is GLOW stone

While I can understand and agree with your reasoning, this game already has suffered numerous times with lighting/shading issues without glowdust. This will most likely just cause more issues.
That many posts and you can't* structure a suggestion properly?
Tisk, tisk.
I can safely say I've never taken Glowstone Dust into a cave before and that we'll never get "moveable torches." Such a thing will end up lagging the game...and you should either turn up your gamma or buy a better television.
Guys...enough with the moveable torches...If we get lucky, we might have a chance for night vision potion.
That is the closest thing we'll get to moveable torches.
I want glowstone dust to be activated by a redstone current. And carry the redstone current a bit aswell, however it halls the range making it inefficient as a repeater.
It delays a charge, but can't be varied, will go 7 blocks when powered by a redstone current.
I was thinking it would be good to make things like lighthouses with.
Or light up waypoints for adventure maps & stuff.

I put my shirt on one leg at a time, just like everybody else.
I'd rather just carry more torches while mining rather than use up another slot in my inventory packing around something else to use "just in case I run out" of the thing I should be using in the first place. Glowstone is a nicer lighting option than torches for building, but throwing glowstone dust around would be no more attractive than planting a bunch of torches. It might be nice if we had an glow splash potion that could make any block glow slightly for, say, 8 to 15 minutes (just for a spooky effect at Halloween).

and thnk you for your support
most likely he meant cant but there is nothing wrong with your structure. If you want to structure it in a way that people cant complain, look at there shall be wars first post and its structure as it is most likely the best structured topic on this forum.

I actually like this idea more than the one suggested at the top of the thread... cool idea upup_away!
I remember suggesting this as well.
I'd like this.
This and spruce wood would be very cool looking I think.
thanks for he support, but if i may ask what does the spruce wood have to do with it?

ahh sorry about the confusion minecraft forums is acting weird "[font=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif][size=small]i considered it allot but if we are able to place it then we might as well just use torches thats why i think it should just be held and glow and now that i think of it maby when you hold a glowstone block it can glow too[/size][/font][font=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif][size=small]" can go to KMABminecraft

Works, I suppose, until you see a creeper coming, switch the item in your hand to a sword... and the lights go out.
