The glare emits light when told to sit and follows throwable glowberries

The glare is rarely found in lush caves and is tamed through glowberries. When tamed, it will follow and fly around the player. When right clicking the glare (telling it to sit), it will close its eyes, stay still hovering in the air, and emit light. Right click again to turn off its light, wake it up and get it to follow you again.

Now here's the cool part, imagine you're exploring a large cave or structure with your pet glare and you want to light up and see a far away area. Well you can now throw glow berries like snowballs and the glare will fly to the area where you threw the berry, then light up. Throw or drop a glowberry near you to get the glare to fly back to you.

The glare can be healed, and its light source can be prevented from getting fainter, by feeding it a glowberry from time to time.

The glare would improving exploring in general, and its more fun to have add a light up adventure buddy than just throwable torches. Glowberries are more useful now too.

I know Minecraft doesn't allow for moving light, but the glare offsets this limitation by acting like a still, floating statue when in light emitting mode.

There hasn't been a sit still glare suggestion like mine, so hopefully this doesn't get removed!

    This is a great idea! As a big miner and explorer this would be such a Minecrafty way to allow players to see from afar in the dark, and gives a much needed use to glowberries.
