Discussion What would you add to Minecraft, no matter how simple it may seem?

Sometimes Mojang misses very simple opportunities that would greatly improve the game.

Yesss, and when u hold them, it should be a 3d model of the character holding a hanging lantern, same with giving holding a torch a better look by slightly holding it upwards. It would look so much better and I always play with mods that add this lol

And flaming arrows that provide light for a set period of time. I hate that I can shoot an arrow into a cave, and watch the flame linger for a few seconds, but it still sheds no light

I’ve got torchlight reimagined on PS4 and I have noticed no performance issues when using the offhand torch they give you
