Suggestion: Portable light source

It pretty much speaks for itself. A portable source of light would be an awesome addition to IC2, and it could run off EU. I think it should be quite costly (maybe include a diamond in the cost), given the benefits it would provide.

That can all be got around to be honest. The developer of forge could be contacted etc etc. How likely it is to happen I don't know. However I still think it's a good idea, which has only been denied twice as far as the compendium lists. One time Alblaka stated that it was entirely against the scheme of minecraft, however I disagree. It could easily be balanced by making it emit a lower level of light (lower than a torch). This would make it so that even though you have a portable light, it only lights up a few blocks around you. It would also be better balanced if the light source had to be the currently active item. This would make it so that switching to another tool (or weapon) would remove the light source. I still think it's a good idea, and if Alblaka doesn't want to add it into IC2, then perhaps another developer could make an IC2 addon to provide this functionality. I'm certain that I'm not the only person who likes this idea. To get an idea of what the general consensus is, I'll add a poll to this thread.
