    Description:

    The Pocket Lantern is a handy light source that, when kept in your inventory at night, automatically illuminates a 6-block radius around you by creating up to eight temporary invisible light points that vanish when you move away or when daytime arrives. You can also place the lantern on the ground at night to have it burn brightly for 2 minutes before extinguishing and dropping for reuse, and right-clicking a placed lantern makes it flicker so you can confirm it's still active. All temporary lights are now fully invisible, so you won’t see floating or missing-texture blocks—just smooth illumination.

    Pocket Lantern

    Quickstart

    1. Craft a Pocket Lantern using the recipe below.
    2. Put it anywhere in your inventory — no need to hold it.
    3. Wait for night. The lantern automatically lights up the darkness around you within a 6-block radius.
    4. To place it on the ground, right-click a surface at night. It burns for 2 minutes, then extinguishes and drops itself for you to pick up and reuse.

    Overview

    The Pocket Lantern is a compact, reusable light source that works passively from your inventory. At night, it detects dark spots nearby and silently fills them with invisible light — no torches needed, no light blocks cluttering your builds. You can also set it down as a temporary ground light that automatically cleans itself up.

    What It Adds

    • Pocket Lantern — A single craftable item that doubles as both a passive inventory light and a placeable temporary lantern.

    How To Use

    Passive Inventory Lighting

    Simply keep the Pocket Lantern anywhere in your inventory. Each server tick at night, it scans a 6-block radius around you for dark air blocks and places up to eight invisible light points in them. These lights:

    • Are completely invisible — no floating blocks or visual artifacts.
    • Vanish automatically when you move away from them.
    • Disappear when daytime arrives.

    You don't need to equip it, hold it, or do anything special — just carry it.

    Placing the Lantern

    Right-click any surface at night to place the Pocket Lantern on the ground. While placed:

    • It emits a bright light (level 15) in its immediate area.
    • After 2 minutes it extinguishes with a puff of smoke and a sizzle sound, then drops as an item for you to pick up.
    • Right-clicking the placed lantern makes it flicker, confirming it is still active.

    The lantern is fully reusable — pick it back up after it drops and place it again whenever you need it.

    Crafting And Obtaining

    The Pocket Lantern is crafted at a crafting table using a standard lantern surrounded by iron and gold nuggets:

    The recipe is unlocked as soon as you join a world.

    Right-click placed lanternFlicker effect — confirms it's active

    Progression And Strategy

    • Early game: Craft the Pocket Lantern as soon as you have iron and gold nuggets and a lantern. It immediately reduces the risk of hostile mob spawns near you during nighttime exploration or mining.
    • Cave exploration: The passive lighting follows you as you move, so dark tunnels ahead of you are lit just enough to suppress spawns without permanently altering the cave.
    • Base work at night: Place the lantern on the ground near your work area for a strong, temporary light that cleans itself up — no need to remember to remove torches afterward.
    • The lantern never breaks — it is fully reusable, so one crafted lantern can serve you indefinitely.

    Infinity Stone Gauntlet

    The Infinity Stone Gauntlet lets you channel seven stones — Space (teleportation and anchors), Soul (soul‑harvesting and Soulworld banishment), Reality (large‑area edits plus a Projectile Bubble Field that converts hostile projectiles into harmless bubbles), Power (destructive modes including the updated Blue Hellfire), Time (tick/world control), Mind (mass control), and the Power of All Stones (Omniscience Scan, Universal Shield Burst, and a Creator spawn‑egg inventory); Temporal Air‑Crush Launch and the Absolute Infinity Command are no longer present. Use sneak + right‑click to cycle stones (current stone appears in the tooltip and action bar), press the comma key to open stone‑specific sub‑options and use the mouse wheel to adjust values, hold right‑click to charge certain powers, melee strikes deal 10 damage, and hold Shift while hovering the gauntlet in your inventory for an expanded controls overview. The Power Stone’s Blue Hellfire, when selected from its sub‑options, now visibly ignites about 80% of eligible solid block tops within a 40×20×40 radius using real fire (like flint‑and‑steel) without replacing blocks, and the wearer gains short, continuously refreshed Fire Resistance while standing in or on either that soul fire or normal fire; the Shadowfire black‑concrete replacement will now only replace existing non‑air blocks so air spaces remain untouched.
