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).

Glowsticks for Cave Update

The video at minecon showed big bright caves for the cave update. This was because the ores were glowing, as said in the livestream, which will not be the the case in the release, understandably. It would still be nice to see the big bright caves, so I am suggesting glowsticks.

Glowsticks would be throwable items that emit light, as entities will be able to emit light now thanks to glowsquid. For balancing, glowsticks could have a timer, at the end of which they begin to fade out to darkness.
I would also like to suggest sticky glowsticks, crafted from glowsticks and slimeballs, which would be able to stick to walls and ceilings, but be dimmer than normal glowsticks.

For the crafting recipe, we could have blazerod crafted with glowstone dust, or maybe from a unique drop of the glowsquid.

Edit: I have been informed that entities will not be emitting light, including the glowsquid! My new suggestion is that the glowsticks turn into light emitting blocks when they land.

    I agree! With the new glowsquid and glow lichen, there should be a way to throw a glow lichen up high onto walls.
