Breaking a torch only to pick it up of the floor has annoyed me for so much time that I decided to make myself the mod since no one has done it.
This simple mod give Steve functional hands let you pick up torches by right clicking it with empty hand.
It works with redstone torches, inative redstone torches, soul torches, lanterns and soul lanterns too. Newer versions let's you pick flowers too.
This mod needs Player Animator 1.0.2 https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/playeranimator
If anyone want to use this mod in a modpack, or showcase the mod in a video be my guest. Send me a private message with the link so I can play the modpack or watch the video too.
In the meantime please don't forget to check out my other mods, they're all focused on immersion and a little more realism, any feedback is highly appreciated.
Peace.
