A copper lantern is a copper variant block that was added in The Copper Age. Like normal lanterns, it gives off light when exposed to darkness and oxidizes like most copper blocks.

Usage[]
Like lanterns, copper lanterns can be placed on top or bottom portion of any solid blocks.
Oxidation[]
Like most copper blocks, unwaxed copper lanterns undergo 4 stages of oxidation:
- Unoxidized - Normal stage
- Exposed
- Weathered
- Oxidized
Only lightning and axes can reverse the oxidation process. Using a honeycomb on an unwaxed copper lantern prevents oxidation.
