As some of you may have noticed, I am no longer actively supporting this suggestion (although I'd still like to see it in-game). That means no new content will be added to this thread. Thanks for all the support! I'm surprised this thread is still alive.
For the lazy ones:
•It is a new light source;
•It is a new decoration block;
•There is two different types;
•Normal;
•Nether variant (or Wither).
•There is 4 different appearance for each type, but only one will be in the game if this is implemented;
•Torch on top;
•Retextured torch (candle) on top;
•Glowing eyes;
•Glowing eyes, nose, mouth (this one is an alternative of the glowing eyes, so it doesn't really count).
•Each type have its own crafting recipe, only the skull type changing;
•Normal type generates in strongholds and in the lower part of pyramids (or Desert Temples);
•When destroyed, drops a skull (or Wither skull if Nether variant) and a torch;
•Breaks when water or lava tries to flow through it;
•You can't wear it as a helmet;
•You cannot spawn a Wither using the Nether variant instead of the normal Wither skulls;
•Can be placed in 16 different directions;
•Can be placed on walls;
•Both type have a Redstone variant;
•Emits a dim light;
•Gives off Redstone power;
•Can be turned off by right-clicking.
To modders:
If you want to make a mod with this, tell me.
Currently, bigeaspk and Mr_danpain volunteered to make one.
Okay, so... I was thinking about new decoration blocks to be added in minecraft, when I thought about skull candles.
These ''candles'' would be crafted with a torch on top of a skull. They will both serve as a new light source and a decoration. Breaking a skull candle would give back a skull and a torch. They would also generate in strongholds and at the bottom of desert temples.
There is also a Nether variant: the Wither skull candle (very original name *cough*)! They are crafted the same way as a normal skull candle (but with a Wither skull) and breaking them gives back a Wither skull and a torch. They wouldn't generate anywhere, because it would be too easy to get wither skull to spawn The Wither. It would also be impossible to spawn the Wither with them.
Both types will be destroyed if water or lava attempts to flow through the skull candles. Like heads, they can be placed in 16 different directions and on walls. However, you cannot wear it on your head.
There is a Redstone variant for both the normal Skull and the Wither one. Like normal Redstone torches, they emit a dim light and give off Redstone power.
Appearances:
All these images were modified. It took me a long time to make them (though it doesn't look like it).
Normal:
Original:
•Torch on top
•Retextured torch on top
•Glowing eyes
•Glowing (Alternate)
Redstone:
•Torch on top
•Glowing eyes
Nether Variant (Wither):
Original:
•Torch on top
•Retextured torch on top
•Glowing eyes
•Glowing (Alternate)
Redstone:
•Torch on top
•Glowing eyes (I love this one)
Models:
These are models, so they're just the object itself, so no background, effects, ect.
Normal:
Oh ho ho!! Didn't expect that, did you?
Again... why not?
Wither:
Well, I wasn't going to skip this one!
Last one. I promise.
Crafting Recipes:
(Idea based on a suggestion from Kitteh6660, or someone else, I don't really remember...)
This section shows the different crafting recipes for the different Skull Candle appearances, if they were all added in the game. For now, I'll just show the recipes for the Normal type. For the Wither type, the Skeleton Skull changes to a Wither Skeleton Skull and for the Redstone variant, the Torch changes to a Redstone Torch.
"The Candle one is too complicated". I thought that the two dyes could change the Torch's color, while the string represents the wick.
•Skull Candle
•Skull Candle (Redstone variant)
•Wither Skull Candle
•Wither Skull Candle (Redstone variant)
As suggested by PatDay, The redstone variant could be turned off by right-clicking, allowing for secret switches (however, to make the switch secret, it would only work with the glowing version of the Redstone Skull Candle).
What do you guys think? You may leave some feedback if you'd like to, I'm not forcing you.

I want Zombie-candles, creeper candles, silverfish candles, ghast-candles etc.... too
These would be possible for Human/Zombie/Creeper heads since they all have the same size, but not Ghast and Silverfish candles, they're too big and too small respectively. And for the rest, they have to add the heads of the other mobs having the same head size as the currently implemented. Anyways, human heads with a torch on top of it would look weird, the same goes for the other heads you mentioned.
I think the craftable version should be with glowing eyes however you can place a torch ontop of the skull it could then maybe get a bit smaller to scale with the skull.
This is a great idea! I wonder whose the ONLY hater!

Back in my days we didn't have these fancy shmancy "Minecraft" and "computers"! We only had LEGOS, and how did we use them? Put them in front of someone's door and let them step on them *chuckle* good times.

Curse PremiumI didn't talk about Skull Candles generating in Desert Temples, but this could be a possibility.
These would be possible for Human/Zombie/Creeper heads since they all have the same size, but not Ghast and Silverfish candles, they're too big and too small respectively. And for the rest, they have to add the heads of the other mobs having the same head size as the currently implemented. Anyways, human heads with a torch on top of it would look weird, the same goes for the other heads you mentioned.
EDIT: Updated the original post
I'm glad you do!
EDIT: Added a Poll with a weird question.
Might I propose that, alternatively, the skull's eyes glow like a jack-o-lantern?
Thank you!
I'll add your suggestion to the poll and the OP! Thanks for the suggestion and the support!
Thanks for the support!
NOTE:
The poll's 3rd question was changed.
Yea... Maybe. I'll think about it.
This is complete mystery that will never be solved...
Anyways, thanks for the support!

It appears that this one was locked because it was already suggested and that the link that the moderator gave leads... here.
Thank you for your support!
I wasn't expecting people to give much attention to my idea like my previous one.
