Cheaper Lantern Recipes

Cheaper lantern recipes

This was my very first idea for a minecraft datapack, and now I’m revisiting this, with a lot more experience.

• deleting the vanilla recipe: no risc of using the old recipe and wasting iron
• granting the recipe: just like in vanilla
• unlike other datapacks: updated to the newest versions and support for copper lanterns!

The recipes:

lantern” loading=”lazy”>
copper lantern” loading=”lazy”>
soul lantern” loading=”lazy”>

Tip: craft 36, 72/64+8 or 16×64 if you don’t want any leftover nuggets

roadmap

1| soul lantern recipes—> Release 1.0!

2| backporting all the way back to the first lantern, of course, copper and soul lanterns only untill their respective versions.

I found an issue with this: there is no easy way to get the datapack to load unless you make a seperate metadata for every single version. I don’t think that’s worth it, I will reconsider this when the project reaches more downloads.

If I decide to expand this project more:

3| config for even cheaper lanterns, 2 and 1 nugget

4|adding config for special crafting recipes, like with full ingots and 9 torches for faster crafting, and disabling the copper recipe for if you think copper is already cheap enough.
