"Cold" lighting source

some kind of light block, torch or lantern that gives off the same amount of light as the others but doesnt melt snow and ice. I know blue ice gives off a tiny amount of light so im thinking some kind of blue ice lantern? im sure the devs will be more creative than me. my survival world is in a snowy taiga, and having torches everywhere makes the world have spots of snow that just looks really ugly.

    I think this is a cool idea! For those of you who have played Minecraft Dungeons Creeping Winter, the light source could be one of the redstone lamps from Lost Settlement that glows blue and looks awesome.

    I have the same idea. A cold light source would be an ideal addition for Mojang if they 
    intend to enhance snow and ice biomes, unlike the Antarctic biome, which currently only
     serves the purpose of harvesting ice (and even then, you need Silk Touch). So, if we 
    assume they're going to improve the ice biome with an ice temple (adding sculpted ice 
    blocks, ice slabs, and ice stairs), they would need to add light sources that don't melt the 
    snow and ice.

My idea was to add bioluminescent sources through insects or plants. And since Minecraft 
    is rather fantasy-oriented, adding a bioluminescent mushroom would be great.

I don't know what you think. Personally, I support the idea.
