Emissive Textures For Blocks

Entities already have the option for emissive textures, and I think it would be very useful if blocks could have the same option. Instead of always having to have the entire block glow, you could have a specific texture overlayed on top which glows instead (For example, a custom ore which only the actual ore parts on the texture glow.) This has been seen in 1.21 with the Eyeblossoms already and I assume this would be possible to do. (It would be nice if it was supported on the forge 1.20.1 generator since so many people still use it, but if it is not, I understand.) Thanks in advance!

The concept of adding emissive texture for blocks will be a great addition, since garden awaken update (pointing the eye-blossom) they will add more and more block with emissive texture,so yeah i think if we can get that too, that would be nice. Plus coding this block behavior to be added in the block element isnt the hardest thing (i guess). But lets see how the devs surprise us.
