I was scrolling through Reddit and saw a meme/image that I sort of agreed with:

!Inspiration for the mod

Assuming the lever was supposed to be an unlit torch, I decided it was a bit of a problem having all these different blocks for one thing, but not for the other. So I sat down and made this mod.

Lanterns

Redstone Lantern

• It always sends a signal in the 4 cardinal directions (North, South, East, West)
• If it is placed on the ground, it sends a signal Down, but not Up.
• If it is placed hanging from the underside of a block, it sends a signal Up, but not Down.

Unlit Lanterns

• All lanterns have an unlit variant. These are merely decoration. You can also put it with a correct torch to craft a regular lantern.

Netherite Lanterns

• Crafted with 8 Netherite Nuggets & 1 Lava Bucket.

Campfires

• Added Copper Campfire. It is literally not different from any of the other campfires.
• Added Redstone Campfire. Only sends a redstone signal upward. Once it is done cooking food, it will hold onto it instead of dropping it. You can use hoppers to push raw food into the campfire or pull cooked food from the campfire.

Jack O'Lantern

• Copper Jack O'Lantern & Soul Jack O'Lantern
• Redstone Jack O'Lantern, where only the face gives off a redstone signal.

Weighted Pressure Plates

• Weighted Pressure Plate, made of copper, which measures entities in groups of 5.
• Reinforced Weighted Pressure Plate, made of netherite, which measures in groups of 20.

Gold Blocks

• Gold Chain
• Gold Bars
• Gold Door (can only be opened via redstone pulse or wind charge)
• Gold Trapdoor (can only be opened via redstone pulse or wind charge)

Netherite Blocks

• Netherite Chain
• Netherite Bars
• Netherite Door (can only be opened via redstone pulse)
• Netherite Trapdoor (can only be opened via redstone pulse)

Hoppers

• Copper Hoppers, which filters items through it.
• Gold Hoppers, which filters items out of it.
• Netherite Hoppers, which allows it to push/pull 5 items at a time.

Items

• Added a Netherite Nugget. You can use it to craft Unlit Lava Lanterns, Lava Lanterns, & Netherite Chains.

Much of the Copper Hopper textures (in particular, item & UI) and code was taken from pcal43's Copper Hopper.
