Unbelievable Lantern Tricks and Tips in Minecraft

I didn’t think they would do it and then they did it there’s a new lighting block in minecraft hey guys omg chad here oh listen we have been spoiled recently in minecraft updates with uh back in the day you only had torches and glowstone and that was it now we have sea lanterns

And end rods and also jack-o-lanterns okay listen well jack-o’-lanterns are really old it’s always exciting to get a new lighting block in minecraft because lighting is so instrumental in this game where bad things and evil creatures will spawn if there isn’t enough light making sure that your build is totally lit is really

Important and so adding a new way to light is really really cool because you can use these in almost all of your builds we’re talking about the lantern if you didn’t guess from the title and the thumbnail so let’s jump into everything there is to know about the

Lantern so here we are inside of minecraft and we’re we’re uh taking a a step in a weird direction we’re recording at night cause we gotta talk about the lantern how can you see how much it lights up if it’s during the day it doesn’t make any sense so first off

This is what the lantern looks like you can see it’s sitting on the ground or hanging from a chain we’re gonna use all these blocks in just a moment but first let’s talk about how you would make it yourself the ingredients are pretty simple you need a torch just one

And really only an iron ingot and that is because you’re going to make that iron ingot into iron nuggets take those iron nuggets and surround a torch and that will make your lantern this means that for every one lantern you’re basically using an iron ingot and one torch with the output being one

Lantern and one iron nugget so basically if you have you can see that i have a stack of iron and a stack of torches as long as i take all of this iron and uh run it through the crafting table i can take all of my nuggets set them in

There and get a huge output of lanterns with one stack of iron nuggets just sitting around now like i said you can place these on the ground or hang them from a block and you can kind of see right here that the the model is a little bit different

Between which one of those options you choose from in order to decide as you can see right here i have two options either i could hang it from the top or put it on the bottom how does it decide well it’s whatever block you are looking at whenever you

Place it down and if you think you can try to to sneak past the game by maybe placing down a block here and wanting it to attach up here by destroying the block below it well whatever block it was attached to if that block gets destroyed

Then it will pop off so you do need uh to you you just basically can’t trick the game the game is is super smart okay has like a phd or something i don’t know now that is all you can do with the lantern is place it on the ground or

Place it uh on the bottom of a block you cannot place it on the side of a block and there’s a whole bunch of different blocks that will not allow the lantern to be placed on any of the sort of transparent blocks that is dirt that was

Not what i wanted i wanted farmland here you go farmland there we go place that down the same uh farmland and uh pathways uh are the same thing basically when it comes to how big they are here’s here’s a grass path so you can kind of

See that that is a little bit shorter than normal dirt you can see that right there hey look at that pixel so anyway you can’t place it down the lantern on any of oh i placed it on the side which placed on the ground which broke that

Anyway uh you can’t place it on any of these transparent blocks also you cannot hang it off of anything that doesn’t have a solid base so this is a slab this is a stair these are iron bars which you’d kind of think you could hang them from because you can

Kind of see that little chain right there you’d almost expect there to be that chain available to you now here are some blocks that you can hang it from the bottom of uh first off is this uh this hopper and that’s interesting to me because you can change sort of the

Where that little extra bit at the end of the hopper goes and so it is kind of the most floaty weird block that you can achieve but obviously underneath solid blocks you can hang it from fences and even blocks that uh like this over here

This stair when it is in the upside down position you cannot place a lantern on it but when it is on the correct side up position you can so blocks that have smooth faces on the bottom you are able to hang it from now let’s talk a little

Bit about light level the light level of the lantern is a little bit more than a torch right now i turned off my smooth lighting so you can easily see the edge of light if you put down a torch right here and we walk out here we can see the

Edge it ends right about there that is about 14 blocks away from the source and if you remove it and put down a lantern you can see this is the edge it would end right there and that is 15 blocks away you can also check that out in your f3 menu by

Just standing on the block you’ll see the 15 block level and if i break that it goes down because i have some a few other lights over there if i place this down it’s only goes to 14 with a torch now 15 light level may seem really cool

But there’s actually a lot of blocks that are at this light level including glowstone beacons and basically all of these blocks those are four c pickles you need at least four these are end gateways and end portal frames or in portals um and so the easier blocks for you to get

Are obviously glowstone the jack-o-lantern or any of these lanterns the redstone lantern or the sea lantern even lava and fire are pretty simple to get obviously you’re not going to light up your house with conduits i don’t think if you wanted to you could this is the point of the video

Where i say i’m recording this in a snapshot development build so things could change everything i just said could change and everything i’m about ready to say could change as well as of right now these are not spawning in the world uh you can see this is just a village that

I just spawned in with a new world and there are no lanterns in the village it’s still stuck on torches so as of yet there is no world generation of the lanterns also something that i want to point out and something that i said in a

Previous video is that these show up in the minecraft dungeons trailer you can see them over in the corners of this shot so uh there and also if you notice on a few of these shots like right here you can kind of see the barrels and uh there’s a cauldron right there

But anyway there’s a lot of stuff in this dungeons trailer that has been implemented into the game also if you remember this trailer was shown before the new villager types or the crossbow was shown during minecon earth so there is still a chance this is a total i’m

Just going out on a limb here okay i’m making a prediction for you guys don’t know if it’s true there’s a chance that almost every block that we see is going to be implemented into the game at some point so this weird uh chiseled block

I don’t know what the heck this thing is back here but that hearth of fire these plants right here those blocks don’t even know what those are and look here we are in the elevator those are barrels those were have been added to the game already so there’s a

Good chance that most of the stuff we see in the minecraft dungeons trailer could also be implemented into the java and bedrock versions of the game to kind of keep the worlds connected like good friends so there you have it the new lantern with a little bit of

Predictions uh from me when it comes to other blocks that we might see in minecraft hope you go make some of these lanterns for your world i also hope a lot of this information doesn’t change because we’re in the snapshots but that’s a personal note if you enjoyed
