Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Blaziers: A light source for the Nether

Nether fortresses are too dark in my opinion. I can't tell where the floor ends and the wall starts (Granted, I play on moody brightness). So I thought up a light source, which also gives another use to blaze powder and nether wart.

Blaziers, a portmanteau of Blaze and Brazier, generate in Nether fortresses, either sitting on blocks or hanging from ceilings. They emit unique particles that look like the floaty bits above blaze powder. To craft them, you need 4 nether bricks, 1 blaze powder, and 1 nether wart. The Blazier emits a light level of 12, but the special thing is, it doesn't prevent monster spawns (if that's not possible, just decrease the light level a bit), so even the bright parts of Nether fortresses are still full of enemies.

    A nice idea that will make playing in nether fortresses a little easier.

    I play Bedrock version, and I feel braziers need to be a similar size to cauldrons with lava inside, otherwise it's just a new type of lantern, which we now already have 2 of. Besides, Java players don't have the option to have Cauldrons with lava as a light source, so adding this to the game would be good.

    It would be intresting if they could be turned on or off by interacting with it somehow, also charcoal is used in real life braziers, so the blazier should consume charcoal giving some kind of item like a fire charge most of the time, or a completely new item on occasion.

    I think this block could have so much potential beyond a nether fortress lighting block, that would really work. If this concept is added in some way, if it became used in some kind or pyromancy based feature, that would probably give it a use for players who don't use nether themed building often, and encouraging people to build in that theme.
