A Mod Review - JP's Light Mod

Pros:
  1.  Simple recipes; the making of the lamp, in particular, was very easy and if anyone was to use this mod on Adventure mod they would have lovely looking lamps with ease.
  2. The lights are very bright; they could easily stop hostile mobs spawning and they are just a powerful as torches, but they look better!
  3. There is a variety of types; there is brick ones, smooth stone ones, cobblestone ones and wooden planks ones
  4. The wooden plank lamps work well on fences; they have the same texture and when put on top the fence looks super-cool. It could make a cool entrance, using the fences and lamps!
  5. The wall-lamps look good on walls of their type; the cobblestone ones look rather nice on a cobblestone wall, etc.
  6. The mod was easy-to-install; all I needed was to put in the files and ModLoader and I was away! This is the sort of mod I like to install.
  7. There was no bugs/glitches during the process; but there was my lava at the beginning of the video :L
  8. You can collide with the lamps; so you cannot walk through them like torches, this works well with a small entrance. When you put two lamps side-by-side they leave a small gap you can walk through!
  9. If you place them on top of each other then destroy the bottom they both go; this is handy and a clever bit of programming

Cons:
  1. Only two different types of light; I would have liked a block like the new lamp in 1.2
  2. I wanted stone-brick lamps; as many people build stone-brick castles, etc.
  3. The lamps cannot be placed on top of each other; this is good, but I did want to put them on top of each other.

What Can Be Improved/Added:
  1. As I said, I want stone-brick lamps for all those castle-builders.
  2. Possibly a lamp alike the new one in the 1.2 snapshot (12w07b), maybe needs just a lever no redstone?
  3. The stacks of the lamps to be 16 instead of 64, as they are big and personally I think have them in 16’s suits them.

Overall: Overall, I would give you [9/10 diamonds!], this is because it is an awesome mod, but as I said I want stone-brick ones, then it would be [10/10 diamonds!]!
