Ok so I was watching october sky, and somehow I connected it with minecraft in the coal mines. I was looking at their helmet and thinking, "how could that be put in minecraft and keep minecraft's style?". Then I relized, you can! You must have 5 leather in a helm style, and a torch in between the top, right and left leathers. Then you can create a miner hat. It glows wherever you go, the same amount as a torch. It also gives you the same protection as a leather helm. It doesn't work when you hold it. It would look like a leather helm with a torch in the front-middle. It can prevent mobs from spawning if you keep it an area long enough. Can be found in dungeons/stronghold chests. Can't be done with gold-diamond-iron an only with helms.
This idea has been done many times. Notch even had it as an april fools item. Here is a locked topic for proof: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/789778-miners-hats/page__hl__miner+helmet__fromsearch__1
You don't even acknowledge or address the main reason why all of these miner's helmets topics die; how will the lighting system work? As Minecraft is coded now, it can't handle mobile or dynamic light, it can barely handle static light properly.
Ever seen the hand held torch mod? It works then. They have a whole team, why can't they fix some lighting errors? I'm not trying to be mean, but they do have a degree, correct? Just tweak a few things. I don't say I could do it. Im sorry I diner search, but I thought I might as well say my ideas.
Then you should be advocating for the lighting system to be redone. It's like asking for copper shovels without asking for copper ore to be added. I was never insunuating that Mojang was uneducated or designed Minecraft wrong. As I understand it, as Minecraft is currently codded, there are programing limitations that prevent them from adding the lighting system you describe. Without that lighting system, this topic has no base to stand on.
Either way, he is right. This has been suggested many times. Please search before posting.
