Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

I think candles should emit light when held in hand. Also wondering if there are any plans to support items from other mods such as Bone Torch and Aquatic Torches

Describe the solution you'd like

Support for candles in all available colors and a few modded light sources

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've had a look at the wiki for supported items but I'm not too sure how exactly to do it myself. I have zero experience or familiarity with minecraft modding and java stuff. Some more information on how to do so would also be much appreciated

Additional context

No response

Yeah.. the wiki pages currently don't explain this well. I will update them soon.

Mod support is something that I don't want to maintain myself. I do plan on offering mod_support tag lists that mod developers can hook into themselves, but I'm not sure if I want to keep the current format.

Candles don't emit light by default since they are not lit when placed down, which by my logic means that they are not lit when being held. One could argue though, that Steve is able to light torches out of thin air, so that would be a valid counterexample.
The other problem would be assigning them to a light level, since this kind of depends on how many candles a player is holding, which is something the pack currently doesn't check for.

Ah okay yeah, that make sense then. Also no worry about mod support but I'll keep a look out if you add more information to the wiki. Thank you ^-^
