Arcane Lanterns

Imbue a lantern with different catalysts to manipulate its effects!

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.

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). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.

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.
