Cheaper Lantern Recipe

by uiinpui

Cheaper Lantern Recipe makes lanterns, soul lanterns and copper lanterns cheaper to craft by swapping the nugget ingredients for chains.

What it does

Lanterns, soul lanterns and copper lanterns are crafted with chains in place of eight nuggets each. One craft yields two lanterns, so a single lantern costs about 5.5 nuggets, because a chain takes 11 nuggets to make. The change is delivered as a data pack and runs on the server, so only the server needs the mod; players can join without it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, targeting 1.21.5 – 26.3 and released as the latest version 1.0 for 26.3. The code is All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Cheaper lanterns

    Lanterns, soul lanterns and copper lanterns use chains as their recipe ingredient instead of nuggets.

  2. Two lanterns per craft

    Each craft now produces two lanterns, reducing the nugget cost per lantern to about 5.5.

  3. Chain-based crafting

    Chains take the place of nuggets in the lantern recipes, so each lantern needs fewer nuggets overall.

What the author says

Changes the recipe for lanterns, soul lanterns and copper lanterns to use a chain instead of 8 nuggets. Instead of one lantern you also get 2. This means that one lantern now costs 5.5 nuggets instead of 8, because chains cost 11 nuggets to craft.
