[MC-137854] Sea pickle is a "hot" light source

Hi there,

I discoverd that a Sea pickle onder water is a hot light source and it let melt only Ice (no snow)
I would expect a plant to be cold.

Edit: 1 to 2 sea pickle's does not melt ice. only 3 and 4 pickle's

Fact "sea pickles like to hang out around 130 feet (40 meters) below the surface, where the temperature is cool"

Also a sea lantern is a hot light source. and let melt ice AND snow what is supposed to a cold light source.

Minecraft currently does not distinguish between 'hot' light sources and 'cold' light sources. Ice and snow only melt based on the light level (not including sky light).

If the ice and snow only are affected by the licht level there is still a difference,

a sea pickle block (4 pickles) gives 14 light and doesnt melt snow.
a sea lantern also gives 14 light but it does melt snow,

Either there was a lighting error or you did not wait long enough. Light level 14 will eventually melt snow after a random amount of time. The melting action is decided by the snow itself by checking its own light level, it does not know the source of the light.
