▷[1.5.1] The Lanterns Mod 🥇

When we descended into the depths of the Minecraft lands, we brought with us several stacks of torches in order to find our way back to our home. These often posed a problem of quantity or surplus (too much torch kills the torch) forcing us to come to the surface or abandon a stack or two to free up space for more valuable items. Until the day when a smart guy created a mod that replaced our good old torches with lanterns and other luminous objects.

Presentation [1.5.1] The Lanterns Mod

Lanterns Mod Items

Lanters Mod replaces the torches with another light system: the lanterns, the headlamp and the lantern car that will surely make life easier for our dear Minecraft miners. But for the sake of realism, a power source has been added to the lanterns to spice things up a bit. Thus, animal fat, a vial of fat, a vial of organic fat, a vial of lantern oil (also called fuel) and a vial of sugar are added with the mod. All of these items will allow you to make lanterns and headlamps usable.

Additions

animal fat

Animal fat will be the basis of this mod. Thanks to it, you will be able to power your lanterns and other Lanterns Mod objects. It is recoverable by cooking animal meat that has already been cooked. Thus, you only need to cook steaks or pork chops to recover animal fat.

Once obtained, it will allow you to craft a vial of grease which in turn allows you to craft a vial of lantern oil (fuel).

The vial of fat

By heating this vial of grease, you will obtain the famous vial of lantern oil (fuel) which will be the very essence of your future lanterns and other light sources.

The lanterns

The lantern will be the body of your light source. It is advisable to make a few so as not to run out during your productions.

One of the particularities of this lantern is that it can be carried on your person, while being switched on or off, but it can also be hung on a support made especially for this purpose. To turn your lantern on or off, just press the right mouse button.

The headlamp

The most attractive object of The Lanterns mod is surely the headlamp which will make you forget about the torches for a good little while. It is usable when equipped by the player instead of the helmet. It can be turned on using your mouse's right-click or a random key (usually the F key).

Its craft is quite simple to achieve, namely: a helmet and a lantern will be enough to make one.

The minecart-lanterns

After the minecart-tnt here is the minecart-lantern which, as its name suggests, is equipped with a lantern. The particularity of this one is that it emits light while passing on redstone rails powered by a redstone torch.

The support lanterns

The aesthetic side of this mod is that you can hang your lanterns on a specific support.

Left: stand with lantern, right: without lantern

You're going to need a few pieces of wood to make this support and you're done.

How the lanterns work

Like tools in Minecraft, Lanterns are not infinite. It has a limited time use. Thus, the vial of lantern oil allows you to use the lantern or the lantern-front for a certain time. Namely that a vial allows you to use your lantern for 5 minutes and that the maximum is 30 minutes. You will therefore need a total of 6 vials to give the maximum life to your new light sources. Only the minecart-lantern requires a source of redstone to function beautifully. The sugar flask and the bio oil flask are useless in this current version of the mod.
