Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Lantern is a light-emitting block. Lantern has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At hardness 3.5 this is one of the tougher blocks in the game.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. It glows at light level 15, which is full-strength lighting for mob-proofing. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
It stacks to 64. You make it with Iron Nugget and Torch. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
