About this project

What does Arcane Lanterns add?

Arcane Lanterns allows you to use the power of light! Fabricate special types of lanterns using a Lantern Maker with various effects to help around your base. What are you waiting for, get ready for the magic!

  • Use the Lantern Maker to infuse a normal vanilla lantern with some special powers. Place the catalysts onto the maker, then finally place the vanilla lantern block on top and your new lantern will be created.
  • Recipes and information about each lantern is found in JEI and REI.
  • Life Lantern: Makes crops around the lantern grow faster. Catalysts: Egg, Melon, Golden Apple, Sugar Cane, Bone Meal

  • Love Lantern: Makes nearby mobs fall in love. Catalysts: Diamond, Rabbit Foot, Golden Carrot, Beetroot, Life Lantern, Honey Bottle

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Thanks a lot to Playelectro for originally creating this mod as Magical Lanterns. Arcane Lanterns is a port to modern Minecraft with many small improvements, fixes and overhauls.
