Using this mod you now can shift-left click on a placed lantern to pick it up. Works for soul lanterns too!
When you shift-left click on a lantern block, it will appear in your main hand, or if you have an item on it, it will just add a lantern to your inventory.
This is useful for when you're early game and spawn in a tundra village, this way instead of crafting a torch you can just take a lantern. Is also great for mine shafts, since they don't have torches but have lanterns instead, and you don't want to mine them with a pickaxe.
Note: You need to shift-left click, don't confuse it with shift-right click. There are not current intentions on changing that.
More features coming up soon!
