[Feature Request] Compatibility with Hardcore Torches?

Background:

For some extra challanges (and immersion), I like to install the Hardcore Torches mod. In brief, it makes torches and lanterns burn out after some time. While the mod works great on its own, pairing it with Mine Colonies presents a new challange. Citizens are unaware of the mod, meaning they don't re-light burnt out torches. That in turn means monsters tend to wipe out the colonies. To circumvent this, I'd like MineColonies_Compatibility to implement a new colony profession.

Suggestion:

A new job - Lantern Lighter - a citizen who re-lights burnt out torches and lanterns. Technically, this means that old torches need to be replaced with fresh ones.

  1. For this reason, the Lantern Lighter should first go to the Warehouse to retrieve new torches and lanterns.
  2. After the Lantern Lighter has picked up the torches and lanterns, a plot should be calculated to replace the old, unlit light sources with new ones.
  3. If the Warehouse is out of torches/lanterns, the Lantern Lighter should let the players know that more light sources need to be constructed.

Bonus information:

To make the implementation as smooth as possible, Hardcore Torches is also open source and available on GitHub. The documentation mentions that the way Hardcore Torches is implemented, the vanilla Minecraft core is only lightly patched. For that reason, I hope that the mod can be considered as a candidate for MineColonies_Compatibility.
