Description
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.

It works with redstone torches, inative redstone torches, soul torches, lanterns and soul lanterns too. Flowers and mushrooms included!
Torches and lanterns renders as 3d items in the player hand, and player holds it properly (head level)
There's a config file for you to whitelist any modded block of your preference, There's also a custom list of key words for you to enable/disable and edit to your preference that the mod will use to read from the block ID being clicked to recognize as a pick able object. You can also Blacklist any block in case the key words lists allows you to pick something you don't want to.
This mod needs Player Animator 1.0.2 https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/playeranimator
