Lantern Mod is a small mod which adds just one item: a portable lantern. The lantern will light up the world around you as you go. In addition to this, the lantern can be placed in the world and also on a boat.
By default, the lantern requires fuel to burn, this can be changed in the config. To add fuel to the lantern, sneak + right click to open the gui and add or remove fuel. To turn on/off the lantern, simply right click.
