Fannominal idea!! I would love this. All the possibilities, all the support. Its great. Mojang, add this its the best idea ever! I would have never thought of this. You made this post so clear and its so full of content and ideas. Great idea
I've thought of how awesome it could be to have colored light too!
The three primary colors of light are red, green, and blue, so I'm thinking this could be implemented by making there be three separate light levels for each block: red, green, and blue light levels. Then lights can emit different light levels on each color, and colored glass or other blocks could absorb more of some light than of others. Ex. a block that is opaque to blue, but transparent to red and green would tint light yellow.

indeed
That idea actually makes a lot of sense!
The second part sounds just a bit complicated, however...I don't see Mojang getting THAT involved if they added colored light....
Guess we'd just have to wait and see...
Bear in mind just how much code re-writing and performance that will cost!
(a sacrifice needed for colored light anyways, but let's not go overboard)
I am all for colored light but the colored glass thing in my mind doesn't make sense in real life glass is dyed after being made therefore I disagree with the proposed new way of making colored glass
It's disappointing how Mojang didn't make it so that light shining through stained glass won't let the light rays be the color of the glass. I really don't get why. I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it?

it makes logical sense, yes...
It does not make practical sense with game design...
It adds performance costs.
While I fully support this topic, all the way to its original three main ideas, I want something as this implemented correctly, not rushed and terribly optimized. IDK for sure why mojang hasn't done something like this, but it's safe to assume performance costs are a factor. This is assuming, ofc, common sense applies to ANY of their development of the game. Some of their actions DO make me question it.
I do wish that Mojang implemented coloured sand though. It's a little disappointing that they missed out on the chance to create an entire new block set

This is a great idea and I support it fully!
HOWEVER
I am well aware that it would require a lot of change to a very fundamental piece of code, and getting the blending to look nice might tax the engine enough to cause some annoying lag. I doubt it, but it MIGHT.
Still, holy crap having colored light in Minecraft would at least TRIPLE the immersion from my perspective. It could also mean some lights would naturally be colored, like sea lanterns being a cool teal glow.
Please mojang! We need yew support

This is a great idea. Colored light would be a great addition into the game.

Curse PremiumTheres a mod called ColouredLightCore but its kinda buggy and in beta but still works sorta like this idea!
cool
Support. I would enjoy colored light.

I totally love this idea. Really the colored glass.:bouncyspider:
1.8 version?
of what?
This is a suggestion, not a mod
From a programming perspective this would be chaos trying to add this into minecraft. But from a player perspective it would be awesome! I support.
Glorious idea, absolutely glorious.
