Skylight Lanterns

This is a simple mod that provides a single lantern block that can emit skylight similar to if there where a hole in the ceiling.  This mod was created to solve the problem of Dynamic Trees being unable to grow underground.

The light is true Minecraft skylight and can be used to grow crops, burn undead, and trigger daylight sensors. Note that the light is the same kind of light coming from the sky, so will not prevent mob spawns at night. Think of it as a portable “hole in the ceiling”. This means the lantern will not output daylight at night. The block also emits block light so can be used as a regular lantern as well. The skylight lantern block is designed to match the aesthetic of vanilla minecraft. It has the exact placement rules as a vanilla lantern.
