Lanterns are blocks that emit light.
The suitable tool to break lantern is pickaxe.
Lantern drops itself when it's destroyed.
Lanterns can generate as lamps or lamp posts above farms and on some buildings in snowy tundra villages and in bastion remnants.

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 lantern appears to hang. They connect to chains seamlessly.
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 lantern, similar to torches. Press use on the targeted block or a block adjacent to the air block the lantern is going to occupy to place it. If the latter is used and both the support/ceiling block is presented:
If the block the lantern is placed on receives a block update that makes it so it can no longer support the placement of the lantern, the lantern is removed and dropped as an item (e.g: the lantern is placed on a trapdoor, and then the trapdoor is flipped).
The lantern is among the most luminous of light sources, emitting a light level of 15. 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 lanterns emits colored point lighting with
#f39a5e. The casing of the lantern blocks a part of the light and casts some shadows around the lantern.
Lantern is destroyed when the piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by the sticky piston.
