Neat mod which adds nice decorative (and light supplying :-)) nodes.

Very good effort here, RHR.

The candles are made of wax, wax is made of oil and they seem way too cheap.
It's a good mod anyway.

This is a cute little mod! I'm gonna have some fun with this!

Better mod

I think I might bring this into my variator modpack. Nice work. :)

Yeah I already recognised that candles are too cheap. I change that in future.

Done.

RHR, your mod looks fresh. I hope we'll see this one back on some servers.

Update
I added philipbenr's lamppost suggestion, changed the recipes (they are more expensive now), animated the candle and uploaded this mod to github. ^^

Still love the simplicity of this mod. I use it all the time in my Singleplayer world.

You should post this mod in the forums of Freeminer.

I was working on that... I gave up after 2 minutes. If it is really wanted, I will do it. :P

The candle is already animated, but my animation looks very poor ... (T_T)

Done! ;)

improves image candle in inventory_image!(very small)
bad eyestrain!

Edit:
black fence does not seem interesting!
consider a utility mod .... with lanterns

I really like this mod. But my son just pointed out a problem to me. How do you remove a candle?

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2014 02:07**

I added this mod to my Adventuretest game

As far as I see in non-creative with an axe.

Ah, that works.
It's a really nice mod, but that probably ought to be fixed. You should be able to remove a candle with any tool just like a torch, especially with your bare hands.

great! :D (BTW: I updated it today!)

I can't remember that I've ever added the feature that the candle is not diggable without tools :D
I fixed it, now you can remove it with your bare hands without tools immediately.

Thank you very much! I think this mod is a very nice addition to minetest.

Quick, blow it out. that's hot!

I partially just wanted to bump this up to be noticed by new players, but mostly I wanted to let you know your mod is quite tasteful and well done.

Posted: **Sat Jun 14, 2014 09:23**

How about making some colored lamps (with an optional dependency on Sokomine's colormachine)?

I most of the time get lost in caverns that are stretching out and splitting up. Colored lanterns could mark the routes I'm taking.

I like the idea of colored lamps to mark different routes. I will create them. ^^
