Soul Lantern:
Soul Lanterns are very similar to the regular lanterns but they are blue and they repel Pilgins which is helpful considering their habit of mobbing. The only difference is in the way it is crafted, instead of regular torch players need to use a soul torch. If you are using charcoal or sticks they’ll need to add soul soil or soul blocks.
Sea Lantern:
As the name suggests this Lantern is used as a light source underwater and all the ingredients to craft it are also available underwater so players should have a potion for water breathing ready with them.
