Illumino - a large light source

If you have ever made a large build, it can be very hard to light it up. You have to hide the lights in creative ways or have torches scattered everywhere (which looks quite bad). There is no good way to light up a massive room.

The illumino is a light source that can light up a large area. I've made it End-themed (see picture), but it could be anything. It should be somewhat difficult to craft so that it's a late-game item.

    I like this idea, but maybe instead of calling the center a Illumino Core, we could call it the orb of luminescence, illumino core just feels kinda weird to say

    Wow, I posted a very similar idea some weeks ago but my post disappeared, maybe because yours was already there but I don't have any clue. Anyway, I'm going to paste my version here to avoid making a duplicate. At the end, I think it's better as a comment, because it is more specific.

    The End Sun (large radius light source)

    In a certain range from this special light source, let’s say a 25 blocks radius, every block is at the maximum light level. The light level slowly decreases past that. A block isn’t lit if there is no path from it to the End Sun, so that a completely closed room next to it is still dark inside.

    This would be incredibly useful for architecture as it allows a uniform lighting inside buildings, or in survival, for avoiding monsters in an area without placing torches everywhere.

    It’s a block with an animated texture similar to lava, except it’s rather white (possibly with a yellow or blue tint, like a real hot star).

    I called it “End Sun” because I suggest you would find it in End Lighthouses (see this other post). But it could be found elsewhere and be named for example “micro-sun” or “sun block”.

    You could mine it only with a netherite pickaxe. Otherwise, it is not affected by the pickaxe at all (it’s hot plasma after all). This could even result in a new achievement: “Mining Suns”.
