Emissive fade feature

I have a cool idea of an additional feature for emissive parts of a block/item model: to choose to have a part that shows up more the darker the area is, and you could choose the opacity for when it's fully dark/at sky level 0. And maybe this could also happen if the element is outside at night, and it would be hidden if a light source is near, or one of them, or configurable from the model .JSON file. I don't know, it's up to you Mojang.

    I'm pretty sure this is already how it works. You make an item glow at a light level of 5, and in the darkest areas it will glow at a max level of 5. But take that same block and put it in any light level higher than 5, and it will just look like it is not emissive

    Unless, of course, you're saying that the texture is invisible until it is put into a dark place
