Template:Infobox block Lanterns are Minecraft:blocks that emit light.

Obtaining

Breaking

The suitable tool to break lantern is Minecraft:pickaxe. Template:Breaking row Lantern drops itself when it's destroyed.

Natural generation

Lanterns can generate as lamps or lamp posts above farms and on some buildings in snowy tundra villages and in 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 Opacity/Placement.

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

Lantern is destroyed when the Minecraft:piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by the sticky piston.
