Light is one of the most essential things in Minecraft – without it, it’s impossible to see your surroundings in dark caves or mine shafts. This is why many players turn to traditional items like torches or Glowstone, but the Redstone Lamp offers a more sophisticated solution for illuminating your Minecraft world.
Lanterns in Minecraft: How to make a lantern (Regular or Soul)
The easiest and most aesthetic way to illuminate your Minecraft map is with a crafted lantern, whether it’s the regular version or a more serene soul lantern. These blocks are not only bright and aesthetic, but also easy to craft and a great addition to any creative Minecraft player’s build.
They are made by placing a torch in the middle of a 3×3 crafting grid and then filling each cell with iron nuggets. They look fantastic and can be used to illuminate entire walls and floors, giving your Minecraft world a stunning glow.
How to craft a lantern in Minecraft: 1. Step-1 Place 1 torch in the middle of the crafting area and then place 8 iron nuggets around it, completely filling each cell.
Once you have done that, drag the lantern to your inventory.
It has a chain on its head that can be placed beneath any block for an aesthetic effect, or to create a hanging lamp. When you place it on top of another block, the lantern’s chain changes its appearance to look like a handle for the lantern.
This lantern type is slightly better than a standard torch, as it gives off more light and takes up less space on the ground or ceiling. However, it must be broken using a pickaxe in order to function properly.
Making a lamp in Minecraft: 2. Getting it to work
The Redstone Lamp is a decorative block that produces switchable light when powered by a redstone current. It can be used to illuminate your Minecraft base or house, and it comes with a few different settings that let you control the amount of light it emits.
A redstone lamp will only activate when there’s an active redstone current surrounding it, or if it’s attached to a daylight sensor or redstone torch. It’s not always convenient for players to have to use a redstone current to power their lamps, but it’s worth remembering that it does give your Minecraft base a more modern and attractive appearance.
Adding a redstone lamp to your Minecraft base is a simple process, but it can be a little bit challenging to get it to work correctly. It’s not a hard block to craft, but it requires some skill to get the right mix of ingredients and to get the lighting to work.
There are a few ways to obtain the materials needed for the redstone lamp, and some of them require a certain level of mining expertise. Luckily, you’ll find plenty of redstone dust in Minecraft’s world if you spend time beneath the ground, and you can also mine the Nether for it. Fortunately, a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch will help you get it faster and more efficiently.
