Arcane Lanterns allows you to use the power of light! Fabricate special types of lanterns using a Lantern Maker with various effects to help around your base. What are you waiting for, get ready for the magic!

Use the Lantern Maker to infuse a normal vanilla lantern with some special powers. Place the catalysts onto the maker, then finally place the vanilla lantern block on top and your new lantern will be created.
