Glowing levels Minecraft 1.8.9?

Are there "glowing levels" in Minecraft 1.8.9? I mean daylight sensors, for example, but unfortunately they don't light up. So are there blocks that are about half a block tall and glow?

Unfortunately, there's no such thing: /

However, you can make Glowstone under the steps, for example, then they will be illuminated a little.

There are no glowing blocks. Alternatively, consider using lanterns. They are fancier than torches and theoretically not one block in size.

Edit: Lanterns are too new. Excuse me
