AMinecraftfan has created a real-life version of the game’s Lantern, with impressive results. The creator went so far as to create two versions of the lamp, and severalMinecraftfans are so fond of the result that they want one for themselves.
Minecraft’s Lanterns provide multiple benefits to players, not only serving as light sources, but also helping to prevent the spawn of unwanted mobs, on top of being decorative. TheMinecrafttorchis so well-known and popular that it was even converted into an officialMinecraftproduct in real life, but for those who are more interested in the design of Lanterns, this might be a better fit.
On Reddit, aMinecraftfan called PrintingByGh6st has shared the Lanterns they’ve designed based on the game. They made the Lanterns in different designs and colors, with one version of it including the chain that allows it to dangle from a ceiling or other high surface, while the other is intended to sit on a table or the ground. PrintingByGh6st created both the standard Lantern and theSoul Lantern, with a yellow or blue light source, respectively. PrintingByGh6st seems to be pleased with the result, noting that they thought it ended up coming out much better than they initially believed it would, and that it looks better in person than in the photos.
Minecraft Lantern Draws Fans
TheMinecraftLantern has drawn attention from the community, with some expressing curiosity about how it was made. PrintingByGh6st explained that the Lantern is3D-printed, and utilizes either yellow or blue filament for the lamp portion of the Lantern. Nearly all of the comments have either noted that they want the real-life Lanterns for themselves, or are at least imagining what it would be like to have one. For those who might be interested, the OP is currently selling them in theirEtsy shop, with prices ranging from $20 to $35 for the standalone variant, and $30 to $45 for the hanging version. The price differs depending on whether the buyer wants a light to be included, with options between an LED candle or a USB LED.
3D printing has opened up artistic avenues for a lot of gamers, andMinecrafthas seen its fair share of interesting creations. Some fans have made3D-printed versions of theMinecraftcompass, while others have even gone so far as to print out a replica of theirMinecraftworld itself. While 3D printing isn’t accessible to everyone, it’s clear that the medium isn’t going anywhere, and as more gamers end up buying them, it’s likely that even more creativeMinecraftdesigns will emerge as a result.
