As far as light sources go, there isn’t a large selection. You can have torches, lanterns, redstone torches; but if you want a light block instead of an item, you can either use glowstone or sea lanterns. Glowstone is useful and fairly easy to obtain, but it’s appearance usually pushes people away from it. Sea lanterns, on the other hand, are more challenging to get, but are very clean and attractive blocks.
I would like to see a block that is similar looking to the sea lanterns, but it could be lava themed. It could be red and maybe orange or black to accent it. I think it would be awesome to have a red style sea lantern. Something that doesn’t need powered by redstone. It would open up a large variety of build pallets.
What are everyone’s thoughts?
P.S.
I realize there are a few more light sources, such as shroom lights, but they don’t look as clean as the sea lantern.
In addition to Glowstone and Sea Lanterns, we also have Beacons, Jack O Lanterns, Redstone Lamps, and Shroomlights, and you can also use a fully charged Respawn Anchor as well. In particular, Shroomlights might suit the aesthetic you're looking for
If you're looking for something orangeish, one idea could be to add a processed version of magma blocks. Magma bricks could be added that have glowing orange mortar, or a chiseled magma block that could act as a decent, orangeish light source. Magma bricks are featured in the Quark mod, and I can definitely say that they look good enough to be worth trying to hunt down enough Magma blocks to build with them. It's the glowing mortar that really does it.

I actually quite like this. It's a very nice aesthetic.

Shroom lights look every thing but clean. When i first saw this block i thought:
Great idea! Glowing mushrooms are cool. The texture however looks like a lightning block got dirty.
I have seen a thread in this forum recently about adding lightblocks, barrier like. Only for creative mode.
That would be a great feature too for map makers.
However i simpatize with the idea of having clean light blocks. The whole concrete palette would be great!
That wouldn't fit into vanilla minecraft at all but we could make so much use of them!
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q

Magma bricks would be great in vanilla! Honestly, I just want more blocks lol.
It's not a lava themed idea but perhaps you could add the ability to dye sea lanterns? Just a thought.
That's a good idea. They are already very clean and not easy to come by.
