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).

Ranged lighting

The new caves showcased have huge ceilings, which could be difficult to light up. A new type of arrow could be introduced, one that places a light source where it hits, so it's easier to light up them!

    Maybe you could craft arrows with glow ink from the glow squid.

    You read my mind. I think it would be good to add glow shards into the game (glow stones when mined will give glow shards instead of glow dust. Those shards would be later processed into dust  that we know or recombined into glow stones) Glow shards could be used in place of flint to craft glowing arrows

    One possibility I think is to make crossbows fire some light source when the light is held in your off hand just like with firework rockets.

    Or we could just have the minecraft equivalent of lasers and have light sources that emit light very far in a specific direction, kind of like the beacon. These light sources would only extend very far in one direction (the distance depending on the crafting recipe), wouldn't have any range in the opposite direction, and would only have like a block of range around it in the remaining four directions.
