Created for my mod ShadowStuff.

Empty Lanterns are crafted from any two wooden slabs and a piece of paper. From there, you can add any torch under the Empty Paper Lantern to get a block of that type.

They’re mostly for decoration. Obviously the soul variants scare piglins, but I also made the redstone variants give off a “flickering” redstone signal. Basically a compact one-block version of most simple repeater loops, giving it a mechanical use as well.
