[Request] Ability to fuel and light torches and/or lanterns in inventory or without placing items down

Hi! I'm a modpack maker, and I'm considering making the switch from Realistic Torches to this one, because I love the feature you add that allows torches/lanterns to burn out while being held or rained on.

However, one thing I prefer about RT is that they add a "Matchbox" item which allows the player to place unlit torches in a crafting grid with it, to produce the lit variants. I would really love a feature like this in your mod. I was attempting to add support myself, through kubejs, but I'm not sure that it's possible for me to do so. So I figured I'd come here and ask.

In an ideal world, this is what I'd love:

  • Being able to light a torch without placing it down or crafting a new one.
  • Being able to fill and light a lantern without placing it down.
  • Lanterns/torches flickering as they reach low fuel.

The first two items would be, I think, most easily done via shapeless crafting recipes. However, it'd be super cool instead to have a mechanic similar to Create's Rose Quartz polishing, where you'd hold (in this case), the torch/lantern in one hand, and the matchbox/flint in the offhand, and then right click.

Anyway, I realize this is a somewhat big ask, and I'd be happy to donate a couple of bucks to the cause, if you feel up to it! Thanks for your time!

That should be possible, what do you mean by flickering exactly? The light level of the block changing?

This should be added, do you need it updated to 1.20.4 or above?
