'''Lanterns''' are [[block]]s that emit [[light]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A lantern can be mined with anything, but [[pickaxe]]s are the fastest. A lantern also breaks and drops itself if a [[piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location, or if its supporting block is moved or destroyed.

=== Natural generation ===
Lanterns can generate as lamps or lamp posts above farms and on some buildings in [[snowy tundra]] [[village]]s and in [[bastion remnant]]s.

=== Trading ===

== Usage ==
Lanterns can be placed on the top or bottom surfaces of most solid [[block]]s, although some require {{control|sneaking}}. More information can be found at [[Opacity/Placement]].
When placed below a block, the lantern appears to hang. They connect to [[chain]]s seamlessly.
Lanterns can be placed (if a support platform is presented) or hanging (if a ceiling block is presented). The type of the block (solid, opaque, transparent, etc... given the block has top/bottom solid surface) does not affect the ability to hang 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 up.
* Press use on the lower half of the adjacent block to "place" the lantern down.
If the object the lantern is placed on receives a block update that does not support the placement of the lantern, it is removed and dropped as an item (e.g: lantern is on a trapdoor and the trapdoor is flipped).
=== Light ===
The lantern is among the [[Light#Light-emitting blocks|most luminous of light sources]], emitting a light level of 15. Lanterns also melt [[snow layer]]s within 2 blocks and [[ice]] within 3 blocks ([[taxicab distance]]).

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* [[Turtle egg]]s can support lanterns placed both above and below them, despite the fact that this causes the lanterns to appear floating.<ref>{{bug|MC-169684|||WAI}}</ref>
* Before they were added to ''[[Minecraft]]'', lanterns were already present in ''[[Minicraft]]''.
