Lantern

In Minecraft, lanterns are an essential light source, serving not only to illuminate the darkness but also to enhance the aesthetic appeal of structures. There are two main types of lanterns: regular lanterns and soul lanterns. Regular lanterns are crafted using torches and iron nuggets, emitting a bright white light with a level of 15, capable of melting nearby snow and ice. They can naturally generate in places such as snowy tundra villages and bastion remnants. Soul lanterns, on the other hand, are crafted using soul torches, emitting a turquoise light with a level of 10 that does not melt ice or snow and repels piglins. They typically generate in ancient cities. Lanterns can be placed on the top or bottom surfaces of most solid blocks, and can hang like chandeliers. Additionally, there are other light sources in the game, such as jack o'lanterns and sea lanterns, each with unique characteristics and uses. Jack o'lanterns also provide a light level of 15 and can be used for lighting as well as being the head of snow golems and iron golems. Sea lanterns, are underwater light sources, also emit light of level 15, and can be obtained with Silk Touch enchanted tools. In summary, lanterns and other light sources are indispensable elements in Minecraft, creating a safe and beautiful world for players.
