Chinese Paper Lanterns (1.20)

To fit with the theme of diversity and storytelling, why not add traditional Chinese lanterns to add a different and festive flavour to lighting. The basic crafting recipe would be a torch surround by 7 paper and 1 type of dye. The dye would determine what colour and shape the lantern takes. E.g. a red lantern would be round whilst a blue one might be more rectangular. Paper lanterns could be hanged from the bottom of blocks but not from the side. In addition when placed on the ground the lantern could float a certain number of blocks into the air, spinning around slowly. The player could also stand on the lantern, making for interesting parkour. In conclusion, having Chinese Paper Lanterns would give lot of opportunity for builds, parkour and storytelling.

    I used to launch Chinese lanterns as a kid, to be able to recreate that in Minecraft would be pretty cool honestly

    A large amount of colour and shape combinations would be a perfect addition to all builds, would take a lot of work to implement so many but a single neutral style could and should very easily find its place in game.

    I think this element should be an existing lantern.

    Add the firefly and a firefly in a bottle, and make the Chinese lantern crafted with the firefly in a bottle

    Me encanta la idea ya que haría que hubiese más variedad en cuanto a objetos de iluminación al igual que se puede utilizar como decoración.

    It's a great idea, but even if it is added I don't think the floating lantern part would be. And also Minecraft typically doesn't add anything unique to a culture. I mean bamboo houses can be found pretty much anywhere there is bamboo so you can't say that's a cultural thing and apart from that there are no examples of cultural things. So considering a Chinese lantern is a cultural thing, it would likely never be added.

    What if you could craft them together with a lily pad to make a floating lantern? That would look so cool.
    Or if you could toggle them? Like, fold and unfold them? Maybe not as good an idea, but it might be fun to have an easily toggleable light source.
