Additional Lanterns

by SuperMartijn642

Players who want more lantern variety can use Additional Lanterns, which adds many lanterns in different colors and materials to the game.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverAll rights reserved1.12 – 26.3

What it does

Each new lantern can be recolored by holding a dye of the desired color in the hand and right-clicking the lantern. The lantern then takes on that color, so a single build can mix several shades without crafting separate blocks for each.

A lantern can be switched on and off with an empty hand, and it can also be powered by redstone. Players who wire their lights to a circuit get the same control they have with other lamps, while players who prefer manual switching need no wiring at all.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt alike, plus SuperMartijn642's Core Lib. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Builds cover 1.12 – 26.3 across 51 release versions, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Many lantern variants

    The mod adds a broad set of lanterns in different colors and materials for decorating interiors and exteriors.

  2. Dye-based recoloring

    Holding a dye and right-clicking a lantern changes its color, so existing lanterns can be restyled in place.

  3. Hand toggle

    A lantern can be turned on and off by right-clicking it with an empty hand, without any tool or item.

  4. Redstone control

    Redstone power switches a lantern on or off, letting lights follow circuits, timers or sensors.

Use cases

Themed interiors

Mixed lantern colors and materials help a builder set the light of rooms, shops or halls for a particular style.

Automated lighting

Lanterns wired to redstone can turn on at night or when a trigger fires, which suits street lamps and entrance lights.

Who it’s for: Builders and decorators who want lighting in more colors and materials than vanilla offers, and server owners who want lanterns that respond to redstone.

Questions

Which loader should a player choose for Additional Lanterns?

Additional Lanterns is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so the loader can match the rest of the modpack. Each loader needs its own build from the same version range.

Does Additional Lanterns need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod also needs SuperMartijn642's Core Lib on every loader, so both libraries must be installed next to it.

Does the server need Additional Lanterns installed?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can lanterns be controlled without redstone?

Yes. A lantern can be switched on and off by right-clicking it with an empty hand, so no wiring is needed.
