Since the game is "(Mine)craft" why not a mining helmet with a flashlight on it? I guess made out of glass and glow stone maybe. It wouldn't effect mob spawning, but just give us that "Condemned"/"fear" feel to it. But no stupid battery limit, thats just annoying and slows down game play.
probably the same reason why torches in your hand dont emit light
i dont think they have coded moving light sources (i could very well be way off base here)
No, Notch doesn't want any mobile sources of light beyond what is possible with pistons, and the day night cycle. They're very unstable and performance heavy in his opinion, plus the difficulty of maintaining a constant light source is one of the difficulties of the game.
This is a suggestion, so you've placed it in the wrong section, just for future notice, it is also a duplicate suggestion, so even if you had posted it in the correct section, it would have been locked. It's a really simple mistake to make but before posting in the future, you might want to look closer at the rest of the forum.
Wasn't Notch planning on implementing a carry lamp at some time?
Yeah I reemember something like that. I wonder what happened to that. It still says it's planned on Minecraft Wiki so you never know. It could come with the upcoming Adventure Update.
