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).

Coloured Lights

One thing that's always bothered me about Minecraft is how Redstone Torches, despite being red, still give off the same coloured light as torches (albeit a dimmer light), and how when a torch, glowstone, a sea lantern, or anything similar gets placed behind stained glass, the colour still stays the same.

I think it would be great if the colour of lights could either be manipulated by stained glass or you could just dye torches and other light-emitting blocks (or both!) as light colour can have a huge impact on the atmosphere in a room.

For example, imagine jumping into an ocean, finding an Ocean Monument, swimming inside and then seeing that everything is lit up in a light-blue colour to make everything feel more aquatic.
Or building a haunted house and making it look evil and menacing by making the lights red.

It's just an idea, and I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on it.

    Great idea. How would you craft the lights?

    There shouldn't even need to be an additional recipe to have coloured light from some preexisting source blocks that already have clear distinct colours.

    Redstone torches should produce red light primarily and frog lights should have an equivalent tint to them.

    This absolutely needs to be a thing
