Mixed candles

You should be able to place different colored candles on one block.

As for now you can only place one color on one block.

  That would load up the required RAM because of too many blockstates. That would be 17 + (one candle) + 136 (2 candles) + 680 (3 candles) + 2380 (4 candles) = 3213 possible combinations, so 3213 blockstates, compared to 4 blockstates for each candle block. That would make it use roughly 800× more RAM only for candles.
  I am not a dev my any means, I saw a similar explanation for why quark used 500MB of RAM for the pipes (because of many possible blockstates - directions, on/off, connections, etc)

  As someone who can't have candles in my dorm for my morning prayers i was excited that I use them for this purpose in minecraft, but having to place them in different spaces takes up alot of space in my Minecraft Bedroom. I understand this creates a lot of varied blockstates, but if the archeology system uses blockstates for making different pots maybe that similar idea could be applied to candle placement?

  VortexFeri Assign each candle a number from 0 to 17. 0 being Empty, 1 being the undyed candle, and 2 thru 17 being dyed candles. Create a code struct that allows four such values in a block. They made thousands of fish types without much trouble, they can put thousands of combinations of candles on a block. They could also put torches, various flower pot types, and sea pickles on there for more decor combinations.

  @VortexFeri There are 3538 possible combinations of tropical fish. There's ways to optimize it to use up very little lag (even if its just not rendering them past a certain distance

  It would definitely add variety to the decor.
