“Negative” light blocks.

I have played around with the light blocks on bedrock and I see that the light level 0 block resets to the natural light level, but I can’t change the light level if there’s already light there (like ambient daylight). This can be frustrating if I want a particularly dark area adjacent to a lit area, and while I am aware that the dark tinted glass block will have a similar effect, that may not work in all situations. Thus I suggest “Negative” light blocks that can reduce light level beyond natural levels, working as the light blocks do, but removing light instead of adding it.

    This would be fantastic! It would be a cool addition to the deep dark both as ambiance and loot

    an amazing idea, even simply having the functionality of light blocks resetting the light to 0 on java would be great, but being able to make areas even darker than is typically possible (like with the darkness effect if the blindness that came with it wasn't so bad) would be Incredible
