Colored/Moody Lighting

Ever noticed that the lighting all emits the same flat white light? Torches, lava, sea lanterns, the sun; they all glow the same color. Provided the game engine supports it (I think there are mods that do this) it would be so awesome, atmospheric, and immersive if different light sources glowed their own colors. For example: Sun: white-yellow Torches: yellow-orange Lava: red-orange Sea Lanterns: turquoise Redstone: red Etc. As a bonus feature, players could use dyes on Redstone Lamps to change the color! If this presents a performance issue, it could be made into a setting in the graphics menu.

    This is something that has been annoying me for a long time. The spinoff games (Dungeons and Legends) look so much better than base minecraft. I realize that this is for the best overall, I'm not asking for RTX or anything, and Minecraft should be able to play on as many devices as possible. But simply having lava glow ruddy orange deep in the caves, and a warm yellow glow from your furnace in the home base would do SO MUCH for mood and atmosphere.
