Wondering how you can make your Minecraft world a bit brighter and more welcoming? Well, hanging lanterns might just be the trick you’re looking for. Let’s dive into the ways you can hang these little lights in your game.

So, how do you exactly hang lanterns in Minecraft? We’ll cover that in just a moment.

Short and Sweet: Hanging Lanterns Made Easy

Hanging lanterns in Minecraft is as simple as having a lantern in your inventory and finding a spot to hang it. These spots could be the underside of a block, the side of a block, or even on top of a block – wherever you think it’ll light up your space best.

First, make sure you have a lantern. You can craft one using a torch and eight iron nuggets, or find them in various places in the game world. Once you’ve got your lantern, right-click (or tap, depending on your device) on the underside of any solid block where you’d like your lantern to hang. Voila! You’ve just added some cozy lighting to your Minecraft home. If you want your lantern to sit on a block instead of hanging, just right-click the top of a block.
