A copper lantern is a copper variant of a lantern that displays a green flame and oxidizes over time.

A copper lantern can be mined with anything, but pickaxes are the fastest. A copper lantern also breaks and drops itself if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if its supporting block is moved or destroyed.

An oxidized copper lantern is generated in abandoned camps.

Copper lanterns can be placed on the top or bottom surfaces of most solid blocks, although some require sneaking. More information can be found at Opacity/Placement.

When placed below a block the copper lantern appears to hang. They connect to copper chains seamlessly.

Copper lanterns can be placed on the ground (if a supporting floor block is present) or hung (if a ceiling block is present). The type of the block (solid, opaque, transparent, etc...), given the block has top/bottom solid surface, does not affect the ability to hang of a copper lantern, similar to torches. Press use on the targeted block or a block adjacent to the air block the copper lantern is going to occupy to place it. If the latter is used and both the support/ceiling block is presented:

• Press use on the upper half of the adjacent block to "hang" the copper lantern below it.
• Press use on the lower half of the adjacent block to "place" the copper lantern on top of it.

If the block the copper lantern is placed on receives a block update that makes it so it can no longer support the placement of the copper lantern, the copper lantern is removed and dropped as an item (e.g: the copper lantern is placed on a trapdoor, and then the trapdoor is flipped).

The copper lantern is among the most luminous of light sources, emitting a light level of 15. Copper lanterns also melt snow layers within 2 blocks and ice within 3 blocks (taxicab distance).

When the Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft Preview, the inside of all copper lanterns emits colored point lighting with
 #86ca59 for the unaffected unwaxed variant, and
 #e8c398 for all other variants. The casing of the copper lantern blocks a part of the light and casts some shadows around the lantern.

Non-waxed copper lanterns have four stages of oxidation (including the initial normal state). Lightning bolts and axes can remove the oxidation on copper lanterns. Using a honeycomb on a copper lantern prevents it from oxidizing.

As the block begins to oxidize (exposed), it gets discolored and green spots begin to appear. As the oxidation continues (weathered), the block is a green color with brown spots. In the last stage (oxidized), the block is teal with several green spots.

Unlike copper bulbs, the light level of a copper lantern is unaffected by its oxidation stage; even an oxidized copper lantern will still emit a light level of 15.
