So I know I'm not the first one to think of this idea this post just supports the idea of a mining helmet for your character to have that lights up the area you are looking at.
The helmet could be fueled by red stone which is not very hard to find while mining in deep caves.
It could made by using 4 stone and either glass or a diamond.
The diamond helmet as you would expect could last much longer than the glass helmet.
The light would only be in front of your character because the light is directed.
This is all I can think of for now but if anyone has any ideas or comments please list them below!
I like the idea, but heres my problem with it; your idea becomes kinda redundant if you want things to not spawn, because if you had this helmet then there would not need to be any light sources in the area, therefore things will spawn when you are not around and will more than likely screw you over after a while. So you would have to compromise between convienience and safety.
I like the idea, but there is a problem. The whole lighting system would probably have to be rewritten. It is a bit hard to explain, light sources in minecraft are not meant to be mobile. All light sources are stationary because in Minecraft, light doesn't travel or light up the air, it depends on blocks to create the brightness. If you look at walls while smooth lighting is turned off you will see what I mean. The lighting works differently then most games. Lets just say it isn't very "dynamic".
I actually like this one, apart from spawn prevention as Zpocalypse rightly points out. If only as a means of having light to SEE by. I've often wondered why it was that when I was clearly holding a torch in a dark room it was still dark...

Regarding the last bit of that statement, It is about balancing i think, for instance, trees aren't affected by gravity because if you had a shovel on you you could take down a tree with a shovel or any other item in the game for that matter, it's because it would be unfair.
So I know I'm not the first one to think of this idea
If you know that you are not the first person to suggest it, why would you knowingly break the rules about making redundant threads? Search, find an older thread about mining helmets, and add your support to that one.
