This is my first mod, it is very lightweight (no pun intended!). It basically adds a craftable block that, when placed, will stay still for ten seconds, then light up with the maximum light level available in Minetest. Sadly, this is not very bright. The advantages of this over a normal torch are: It looks better, and is freestanding.
It is only in alpha, I, in version 2, may add a function that is basically you have to fuel it with coal. Coal will last, say, ten minutes, and everytime you put new coal in the timer is reset. I am, however, not this advanced yet, and so this feature probably won't be implemented for a while.

If anyone does know how to implement coal fueling please help me.
