Light Sources Should Emit Light When Equipped.

Dear mojang, I feel as though Minecraft is lacking in one department. Immersion.

It's ashame that this game has been out for this long and torches that you're carrying don't light up the surrounding area. Make light sources light up depending on the light you are carrying. This is perfect for added depth by making the player decide on what they will bring. Equip a shield? or a light source? The same goes for the helmet slot.

This game is about mining and yet no miner helmet exists. Back in 1.19.4 you could equip a jack-o-lantern. This was useful for those that installed Optifine but the same decision is presented. Add a little defense? or Be able to see around you? This is the type of game design this game is sorely missing and the only thing in the game that breaks up the linear upgrade progression is the Turtle Shell.

Vote to add a mining helmet with no durability and defense but produces light. Make light sources held produce a light radius dependent on the light item held.
