Combine Wall Lanterns with Other Lighting
Mix Mounting Styles for Depth
The mod's wall brackets complement other lantern placements. Create layered lighting by combining wall, ceiling, and chain-mounted lanterns.
Layering Techniques
1. Place wall lanterns at eye level or slightly above
2. Hang lanterns from chains attached to the ceiling above
3. Place lanterns on the ground or on blocks below
4. This creates depth and makes spaces feel more naturally lit
Practical Applications
- Corridors: Wall sconces with overhead chain lanterns
- Courtyards: Ground-level lanterns with wall-mounted variants at different heights
- Entryways: Symmetrical wall lanterns flanking the door, with ceiling lanterns overhead
- Gardens: Mix wall brackets with hanging chains for atmospheric lighting
Lighting Considerations
Wall lanterns emit the same light level as standard placements, so combine them freely without worrying about over-lighting. The visual variety matters more than the light output—use different mounting styles to create architectural interest rather than purely functional lighting.
