How to Make Ornament Lanterns for Holiday Builds

What Ornament Lanterns Are

Ornament Lanterns are a colored lantern family that mirrors the Paper Lantern color set. You can craft Black Ornament Lantern, Blue Ornament Lantern, Brown Ornament Lantern, Cyan Ornament Lantern, Gray Ornament Lantern, Green Ornament Lantern, Light Blue Ornament Lantern, Light Gray Ornament Lantern, Lime Ornament Lantern, Magenta Ornament Lantern, Orange Ornament Lantern, Pink Ornament Lantern, Purple Ornament Lantern, Red Ornament Lantern, and each one also has an Ornament Soul Lantern version.

Crafting Steps

Ornament Lanterns use a shapeless recipe. Combine a Lantern with the dye color of your choice to produce the matching Ornament Lantern. For the soul-flame version, use a Soul Lantern with the same dye. Because the recipe ignores slot position, you can place the Lantern and dye in any order.

Build Ideas

Ornament Lanterns suit festive builds: hang them in rows from ceilings, cluster them around doorways, or alternate colors along a fence line. Pair a regular Ornament Lantern with its Ornament Soul Lantern twin to create a warm-and-cool contrast on the same post. For a tree, place one color per branch layer to mimic ornaments. Because every dye color is available, you can match the lanterns to wool, concrete, or banner colors already in your build without changing your palette.
