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).

Use Glowstone Dust as a dye on Signs

Based on a bug fixed in the Java Edition Snapshot 19w40a - MC-161905

The bug showed signs with glowing text, now yes this was a bug with all dyes,

but why not attach this effect to Signs if Glowstone Dust is used as a sign dye.

 

It would be good for signs in dark mazes or caves and similar, and as the bug showed

it is possible for sign text to glow.

    I like this idea, but I think we should be able to make any color glow instead of having "glowing" as a separate dye (like, being able to use a red dye and a glowstone dust on a sign, and that would make the text glowing red for example, so we'd have 32 different types of texts on signs)

    Yes, please! We can change the text color on signs using dyes but the text is illegible for most combinations (even white on oak for example). Using glowstone dust on a sign would make the text emissive. It would retain whichever color it had, but would glow brightly and be easier to read both in in the dark and under artificial lighting conditions.
