Placed Lanterns

Placed lanterns (in their on and off states). Click or tap the image to view a summary of each row.

Lanterns are small light sources that hang from ceilings (the underside of blocks). They occupy less room than a chandelier, making them ideal for smaller spaces. Most lanterns can be toggled on and off via wire.

There are two lanterns that provide regeneration buffs, the Heart Lantern and the Star in a Bottle, which grant health and mana regeneration, respectively. Toggling these lanterns off will only deactivate the light source, but not the buff.

The Skull Lantern and Jack 'O Lantern, while having lantern in their name, are not like the rest of the lanterns in that they need to be placed on a flat surface. The Large Dynasty Lantern is considered a chandelier due to its dimensions.

Notes[]

  • The Firefly in a Bottle, Lightning Bug in a Bottle, Lavafly in a Bottle, and all "soul in a bottle" variants cannot be toggled on and off via wire.
  • Unlike the other lanterns, the Chinese Lantern is 2 tiles wide and 2 tiles high, and can be placed underwater.
  • Lanterns cannot be placed on blocks deactivated by Actuators, and will be destroyed if the block they are hanging off of is toggled by one.
  • Each world's Dungeon contains three of the seven noncraftable Dungeon-exclusive lanterns. Each section of the Dungeon contains a different type of lantern. Which lanterns are present is randomized.

Tips[]

  • In Multiplayer on the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version, it is possible to acquire an infinite number of Fireflies in a Bottle by breaking the bottle first to gain one, then the chain to gain two.

Trivia[]

  • The character on the Chinese Lantern (simplified Chinese: 开) means open and is pronounced kāi.
