2. Add Items to make a Lantern

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a lantern, place 1 torch and 8 iron nuggets in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a lantern, it is important that the iron nuggets and torch are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 iron nuggets. In the second row, there should be 1 iron nugget in the first box, 1 torch in the second box, and 1 iron nugget in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 iron nuggets.
