Mining Helmet

With the copper bulb being added for 1.21, I think it would be an ideal opportunity to add a mining helmet. It could be made with copper and a bulb, provide a small amount of protection, and be able to emit light when worn. The light could be toggleable, draining durability when on, and could be recharged with redstone dust or glowstone dust for example.

    I love this Idea 💡 I think it will be very useful for mining in the caves

    Or they could add a new block in the caves that allow for this

    Or a standalone copper helmet, like the turtle shell, that would protect you from falling gravel. You could buy this helmet from a new miner villager.

    The funny thing is, the Miner's helmet back in the year 1919, wasn't a bulb, it was more like a reflective dome with a hole to funnel a small flame out. 

    The mechanism is that water drips onto Calcium Carbide. Which would combust, but thanks to a hole it would funnel through that, with that light reflecting off the dome, creating a light of a sort, if you want it to be brighter, turn a dial to increase the combustion(more drips of water), which usually lasts a long time. However in terms of design for Minecraft recipes: Iron(Or other ores)Helmet+Leather Helmet+Furnance and 2 pieces of leather would create it. 

    However, it would require some sort of specialized fuel source which wouldn't be hard to make as well as a glass bottle of water. The idea would be rather fun, considering it is a really old concept. Not a modern one. By any means. Considering we got pistons which first modern piston was invented in 1876. Anyone who reads this, have a good one :D.
