Hello! my idea to present to you is a helmet that emmits light 3 blocks in each direction when wearing (with a trade off!)

This item is basically just a helmet that can either be a grey dyed leather helmet or a light grey dyed helmet, the helmet is fueled by coal and requires 1 coal per 10 blocks walked so it doesnt just eat all your coal while stood still or AFK. This item i belive can be very useful to those who like to mine or just have light when its night and want to avoid falling off a ravine or a cliff and general it adds something new to the way we play minecraft (mainly mining) this then can make mining more fun and also help with not needing to make tones of torches when you need to go mining .

Thank you for your time.

The ideas is cool, I do think that minecraft does need a mining helmet of some sort. The issue I see though is,  players may prefer to use or continue to use optifine and hold a torch in their off hand, as it would provide more light and is a much cheaper option, in terms of spending coal, making the helmet not very beneficial.

just some food for thought. 

Dear Tristan,

I aggree with ooga on how players will just use torches. But its still a rlly cool idea and i wud love to have it ngl. Maybe it gives u night vision instead of light to make a benefit to having it over a torch! Also its much easier to make it give u night vision rather than making light cuz that can be rlly laggy lighting updates can cause severe frame drops optifine does a good job tho with dynamic lighting!
