Lanterns can be placed on the ground (if a supporting floor block is present) or hung (if a ceiling block is present). The type of the block (solid, opaque, transparent, etc...), given the block has top/bottom solid surface, does not affect the ability to hang of a lantern, similar to torches. Press use on the targeted block or a block adjacent to the air block the lantern is going to occupy to place it. If the latter is used and both the support/ceiling block is presented:

Template:Infobox block A lantern is a Minecraft:block that emits Minecraft:light. It is brighter than a Minecraft:torch, and can be placed on top of or hang from the bottom of most blocks.

Obtaining

Breaking

Lanterns can be broken with any tool, and always drop as an item, but using a Minecraft:pickaxe is the fastest. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Lanterns can generate as lamps or lamp posts above farms and on some buildings in Minecraft:snowy tundra Minecraft:villages and in Minecraft:bastion remnants.

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Trading

Template:Trade sources

Usage

Lanterns can be placed on the top or bottom surfaces of most solid Minecraft:blocks, although some require Template:Control. More information can be found at Minecraft:Opacity/Placement.

When placed below a block, the lantern appears to hang. They connect to Minecraft:iron chains seamlessly.

Lanterns can be placed on the ground (if a supporting floor block is present) or hung (if a ceiling block is present). The type of the block (solid, opaque, transparent, etc...), given the block has top/bottom solid surface, does not affect the ability to hang of a lantern, similar to torches. Press use on the targeted block or a block adjacent to the air block the lantern is going to occupy to place it. If the latter is used and both the support/ceiling block is presented:

  • Press use on the upper half of the adjacent block to "hang" the lantern below it.
  • Press use on the lower half of the adjacent block to "place" the lantern on top of it.

If the block the lantern is placed on receives a block update that makes it so it can no longer support the placement of the lantern, the lantern is removed and dropped as an item (e.g: the lantern is placed on a trapdoor, and then the trapdoor is flipped).

Light

The lantern is among the most luminous of light sources, emitting a light level of 15. Lanterns also melt Minecraft:snow layers within 2 blocks and Minecraft:ice within 3 blocks (Minecraft:taxicab distance).

When the Minecraft:Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft:Minecraft Preview, the inside of lanterns emits colored point lighting with Template:Color. The casing of the lantern blocks a part of the light and casts some shadows around the lantern.

Piston interactivity

A lantern is destroyed when a Minecraft:piston tries to push it. It cannot be pulled by Minecraft:sticky pistons.
