Cheap Lanterns

by Prunty · on Modrinth

Cheaper lantern recipes for Fabric. Craft lanterns with fewer nuggets so survival builds look better without the stupid iron tax.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.1.2Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11
Minecraft 1.21.9–1.21.10
Minecraft 1.21.6–1.21.8
Minecraft 1.21.5
Minecraft 1.21.2–1.21.4
Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.10 ⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 ⬇ Download for 1.21.5 ⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.4 ⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Cheap Lanterns reduces the crafting cost of lanterns so decorative lighting is easier to use in real survival worlds.

Soul Lanterns use fewer iron nuggets
Copper Lanterns use fewer copper nuggets

Why use it

Better survival building flow
Less grind for decorative lighting
Great for vanilla+ and builder-focused packs
