Minecraft:Copper Lantern

Template:For Template:Infobox block A copper lantern is a copper variant of a Minecraft:lantern that displays a green flame and oxidizes over time.

Obtaining

Breaking

A copper lantern can be mined with anything, but Minecraft:pickaxes are the fastest. A copper lantern also breaks and drops itself if a Minecraft:piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if its supporting block is moved or destroyed.

Usage

Copper 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 Opacity/Placement.

When placed below a block the copper lantern appears to hang. They connect to copper chains seamlessly.

Copper 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 copper lantern, similar to torches. Press use on the targeted block or a block adjacent to the air block the copper 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 copper lantern below it.
• Press use on the lower half of the adjacent block to "place" the copper lantern on top of it.

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

Light

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

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

Oxidation

Template:Main Non-waxed copper lanterns have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and Minecraft:axes can remove the oxidation on copper lanterns. Using a Minecraft:honeycomb on a copper lantern prevents it from oxidizing.

As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.

Unlike copper bulbs, the light level of a copper lantern is unaffected by its oxidation stage; even an oxidized copper lantern will still emit a light level of 15.
