A soul lantern is a special variant of the lantern that glows with a spooky, blue soul fire. It looks like a regular lantern, but with a blue flame inside. Its main purpose is to be a decorative light source. It produces a slightly dimmer light than a regular lantern, but its unique, magical color makes it a favorite for builders.

The only way to get a soul lantern is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world, though you can trade for them with piglins. The crafting recipe is very simple. You will need one soul torch and eight iron nuggets. To get a soul torch, you need to craft one from a stick, a piece of coal or charcoal, and a block of soul sand or soul soil. To get iron nuggets, you can craft them from an iron ingot, or find them in chests. Once you have your materials, open a crafting table. Place the soul torch in the center slot, and then surround it completely with the eight iron nuggets. This will create one soul lantern.
