Set Up and Use a Lighthouse

Craft the Lighthouse Light Block

Gather the required materials and craft the Lighthouse Light block at a crafting table. This is a decorative and functional block that adds navigation and atmosphere to coastal areas.

Place Your Lighthouse

Position the Lighthouse Light block at the top of a tall structure—a tower, cliff, or custom lighthouse build. The block works best when elevated so its beam can sweep across the water.

Activate the Light

Right-click the Lighthouse Light block to cycle through its modes: rotating spotlight, flashing beacon, or off. The rotating mode produces a continuous sweeping beam, while the flashing mode creates a pulsing light pattern ideal for marking hazards or ports at night.

Guide Your Ships

Use the lighthouse as a navigation landmark when piloting vessels. The rotating beam or flashing light helps you orient yourself across open water and marks safe harbor approaches. Multiple lighthouses can guide complex trade routes or mark dangerous coastlines.
