color Block particles/effects match block paint

[Umbral Reaver]

Suggestion: Light blocks, engines, shields and so forth give off effects coloured according to the block's paint (if unpainted, same colour as default for the material).

This would be really cool. Dunno how it would work for shields though since I think shields are a single entity instead of based on where the block is. A composite of all shield block colors, perhaps? (so a red + blue shield block would result in purple shields)

Maybe if you have multiple shield generators with different colours, it slowly cycles through them. :3c

That would look incredible. I love the idea.

Isn't the lighting effects from glow blocks already affected by their color?

 

Otherwise, yeah, I support this.  Especially for engines and hangers (that way we don't have to use glow/hologram blocks to alter it).

Yeah, only glow/hologram blocks do it right now.
