Awesome!
This mod is one of the reasons mining in Minetest is enjoyable. If I had to switch to place torches it just gets annoying, so thank you for making this mod! It's also very easy to use as a mod developer, literally don't have to do anything anymore as long as it is in the right item group.
My one suggestion is to add a check for what game they are playing, and automatically add support for the pickaxes in those games. It should also do this for the default light node if possible.
Works!
No more need to switch back and forth when mining. Perfect!
