Thanks for the follow-up!
The longer mining time is by design — the lamps in this mod are physically “larger” than the vanilla ones, so I wanted that to be reflected in how long it takes to pick them up. That said, I get that it can feel a bit annoying when you just want to move things around quickly. If there’s enough interest, I could look into making the mining time adjustable through a startup setting in a future update, so players can choose between “vanilla speed” and “bigger lamp = longer mining.” Or I might just set it to 0.1s like normal lamps if that ends up being the general preference.
For the color option: I’ll leave that to add-ons like the one you linked. Larger Lamps 2.0 itself is in bug-fix-only mode, so I’m not planning to add new feature toggles directly. Having it as an optional dependency is a good idea though, since it helps people discover compatible mods more easily.
Will think about it. And if so when i have the time in my life.
