I came up with this relatively simple idea in the hopes that it would be able to be implemented with hopefully only one, or zero extra item IDs used, but I don't know enough about the programming, so here goes;
Glowstone Dust could use more uses, and sometimes the available light sources aren't aesthetically very good.
My solution: Glow Dye
= Glowstone Dust
Crafting Recipe =
Glow Dye can be applied to any solid block, and will cause that block to be a light source.
I was thinking, if Notch wanted lighting other than torch light to remain rare, due to the relatively small amount of glowstone dust required to craft glow dye, it can provide maybe light level of 10, rather than 15.
My concept would involve, ideally, causing the block to which the dye is applied (which I'd leave it up to the programmers to decide if that should be done in the inventory, or on a block which is already placed in the world), to be the light source itself. But it is also acceptable for glow dye to be a block of it's own, mostly transparent, pale yellow, placed the same way as a torch, but more subtle.
I intend this to be a simple suggestion, hopefully it has been thought out and explained well enough.
