(Java) Remove Light Flickering From Some Sources

In the Java Edition, the light emitted by all artificial sources has a flickering effect. This flickering does not make sense for certain artificial light sources such as glowstone and redstone lamps. Glowstone should give off steady light as it is supposed to "glow". The removal of the flickering of light from other sources such as sea lanterns and End rods should be considered as these light sources are often used for high-tech builds as they are white. Realistically, if a light is flickering, it is usually using old technology, defective, or installed incorrectly. In Minecraft, we should have lights that give a more modern feel.

    This would be a limitation of the lighting engine. the flickering effect works almost like a post processing effect. personally i think it adds, almost as if light magic itself is an energy of its own like redstone energy.
