Lantern

Lanterns are blocks that emit light.

Lanterns can only be obtained in the creative inventory.

Usage

Light
Lanterns give off a light level of 15, which is slightly more than torches.

Trivia

 * Lanterns were likely to be a "replacement" version of the torch if they were added in the 2010 Halloween Update, despite them not being added in that update, they are still technically better than the torch in 1.14 because of how they are 1 light level higher than the torch currently.
 * Lanterns are the second animated light-source in the game, the other being sea lanterns.
 * Gravity affected blocks, such as sand, dropped on lanterns will break, similarly to torches.
