Please add the glare later

Just... add it in eventually... please. It can be 3 years, or 10 years from now it's just too good to throw away..

     I think the functionality of the glare should be an item. I don't think a mob whose entire purpose is to find dark spaces should be something that spawns in the game unless it's very rare.

    Personally, the Glare's mechanic wasn't useful enough, now I'm a bit biased using Java, but also the fact that once 1.18 rolls out, dark is dark enough.

    Now if Glare was a moving light source that growled when hostile mobs were near, that would be handy and a unique pet for exploring the underground. Imagine an early Creeper detector that followed you around, and help cut down on troches when mining (Win-Win). 

    Or if the Glare would patrol along the edges of light (wouldn't go into darkness/Zero space) and growl when a hostile mob was near, you could set it up as a wandering guard dog and setting its path with light sources and it would randomly wiggle around. It could be watching your back in an open base or shaft moving around a little bit and sounding off when danger comes. 

    A mob who purposely goes where it doesn't want to just to pout... is counterintuitive at best. And while acute Quality of Life helper for lighting. Being able to potential autosort with the Allay, or collect drops without filling your own inventory, is a good win. It was also the catch with the Copper Golem, you could easily use a pressure plate and chicken to make a random readstone signal. Now if the golem helped with farming/fishing/lumber it would of easily won.

    I think it would be great if it was expanded on and we where told more about what it can do! Maybe they can start putting old mob vote mobs into different mob votes?? I think that would be great!

    The Glare should be brought back later it can be a amazing mob found in the caves. I can imagine having one as a pet in Minecraft.
