Split Temperature and Light Level.

Simple as it is. Not every light block is warm. Give blocks Temperatures instead. Icicles should only melt from a certain Temperature Level. To calculate it, it could be simply added to the environmental Temperature of biomes. It could lay the path to some great mechanics, for example letting a snow Golem stay cold.

    The idea is a little rough, but I agree. There could be a tag for light-emitting blocks that determines whether their light has heat as well. This should include lava, magma, torches and such. (Would be interesting to see whether the devs think certain redstone lights should be warm or cold? How about froglights? Copper bulbs?) I'd imagine glow lichen and sea lanterns are more on the cold side, along with sea cucumbers, glow berries, enchanting tables and end gateways and such. This would introduce a very interesting play with game mechanics, for small builds and redstone builds alike. (Perhaps temperature should be something detectable or measurable while we're at it.)

    Eventually getting a cold type of fire could be very interesting too, but that's a little far-fetched, I admit.

    I would like this.
