This mod is only compatible with the Fabric and the Quilt mod loader.
How?
Simply place the lantern on the side of a block, and the lantern will attach to that side. Whichever side of a block you are facing when you place it down, is the side that the lantern will attach to.
Compatibility
If you're using a resource pack that changes the lantern blockstate file, then you may not see the connection of the lanterns to the walls.
Mod Compat
- Oxidized
- Oh The Biomes You'll Go
- Charm (Except for golden lanterns)

I have an issue where this mod switches around other resources like SweetBerries with campfires fires cobblestone with waterlogged amethysts. It's done this before 3 times. Using fabric's equivalent of 1.19.2.
In reply to S4sutler100:
This is a known issue, and I am currently working on a fix.
In order words, vanilla tweak resource pack that turn the lantern into 3d will not show the item attach to the wall?
Could this be ported to Forge?
In reply to deletemetainf:
I’ve never worked with the Forge toolchain before, but I believe it could be ported. However, I’m not interested in doing so myself.
In reply to CoalTheBurnRock:
Why? Forge is much more popular than Fabric, and this tiny mod must be simple to create
there is an issue, when lantern hanging on block and you break the block, and there is block beside the lantern. The lantern will floating, not break or attach to block beside. I hope you understand what i say.
I cant find it with Curseforge for Windows App ( on the latest version ( 1.19.2 ))
I would appreciate if you add a tagged version for 1.19.2 or just an update to 1.19.2 (thanks in advance !)
In reply to buarda12:
The latest version works with 1.19.2 and has been tagged appropriately.
Had an issue when using this mod and connecting to a vanilla server, I posted the issue:
Connecting to vanilla 1.18 server causes some blocks to display wrong · Issue #7 · ThePoultryMan/Lanterns-Belong-On-Walls (github.com)
Do you think that you could make it so that wall connections take priority over ceiling connections?
In reply to wolfboyft:
I’m planning on updating the placement system, so the lanterns attach to whatever side of the block you click. This will allow you to place lanterns on walls instead of ceilings.
In reply to CoalTheBurnRock:
Oh awesome, sounds good. Thanks for the resposne!
so, i made a mod review if anyone wants to hear my two cents on the mod and see it in action. on that note, this video is a youtube short i made by crowbaring a 16:9 video into a 1:1 video. anyways, i hope you enjoy the video!
im not even kidding you this mod broke my whole mod pack and the logs wouldn't tell me why or what it was so i had to put each one of my mods in individually (ii have 270 mods) and i narrowed it down to urs. im not trna hate or anything but...
thanks

What particularly happened when it "broke" your mod pack?
