About this project

What does More Lanterns add?

This mod adds more craftable lanterns to Minecraft.

Why this is needed in Minecraft:
Jack-O-Lanterns: I got sick of having to find Pumpkins. Then having to plant, wait for them to grow and harvest them. You can't even place Jack-O-Lanterns without a block under them first. Who wants to look at that all of the time anyway?

Redstone Lanterns: You literally have to go to Hell (The Nether) and back to craft them. And they have to be powered by a Redstone Torch or a Switch. Too much of a pain to craft, and not Renewable.

I hope Mojang adds the Stone and Cobblestone Lanterns to Minecraft in a future update.

PS: Source Code is also included in the zip files. :-)

Requirements:
