About
The Lantern is a decorative light block that provides bright illumination comparable to torches and glowstone. It stacks to 64 and breaks quickly with any tool, making it easy to relocate or redesign lighting setups.
Admins use lanterns to light bases, pathways, and structures while maintaining aesthetic control. They can be attached to solid blocks and suspended from chains, giving builders flexibility in placement that torches alone do not offer. Spawn them with /give @p minecraft:lantern 1 or increase the count argument to distribute multiple lanterns at once.
