Redden's Stone Lanterns Reconstructed

Illuminate your worlds with traditional, modular craftsmanship.

Tired of the same old torches and standard lanterns cluttering your gardens and pathways?

Redden's Stone Lanterns Reconstructed introduces a beautiful collection of highly detailed, modular Asian-inspired stone lanterns (Tōrō) designed to bring atmosphere, structure, and elegance to your builds.

📖 About This Fork

Reconstructed is maintained by me, a single developer, and continues the legacy of RedLime's original mod. This fork aims to make all of the features of the original mod be fully implemented in newer Minecraft versions and to extend the mod functionality in the future.

🔄 How Reconstructed Differs From the Original

While this version preserves the beautiful visual design and core spirit of the original mod, it has been completely overhauled under the hood to meet modern standards:

• Modern Version Support: The original project is no longer maintained for newer releases. This version fully ports and adapts the mod for modern Minecraft, supporting Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.
• Modern Shader Compatibility: Lighting data and block geometry have been updated to ensure seamless, glitch-free interaction with modern shader packs.

⚡ Version Support

The mod will be supported for most future versions. If a backport is needed, it can be requested by creating an issue here.

💡 Important Recommendation

🌟 Best Used With Shaders!

To truly experience the atmospheric glow of these lanterns, running this mod alongside your favorite shader pack is highly recommended. The intricate 3D block models catch shadows beautifully, and the lit variants cast a warm, cozy ambience across nighttime landscapes.

Overview

Redden's Stone Lanterns Reconstructed is a decorative mod that expands your landscaping options with various traditional stone lighting fixtures and pillars. Perfect for shrines, quiet garden paths, ancient temples, or rustic mountain fortresses, these blocks blend seamlessly into vanilla stone environments while adding incredible architectural depth.

Features
