Lantern Skyblock

What Lantern is

Lantern is a team skyblock server built around island levels rather than raw money. You start on the usual dirt-and-tree island, and everything after that comes from cobblestone generators, an ore upgrade tree and a set of custom minions that automate the boring parts once you have earned them.

Islands support up to eight members with role permissions, so a group can hand out build rights without handing over the island bank.

What makes it different

• Weekly leaderboard, permanent islands. The top-ten board resets every Monday so a team that started this month can still win something. Your island itself never resets.
• Minions you unlock, not minions you buy. Every minion tier sits behind an island-level requirement. The store sells cosmetics and nothing else.
• A real island level formula. Blocks have declining returns past a threshold, which kills the one-million-cobblestone strategy and rewards variety.
• Coop islands with an audit log. Every chest access and block break is logged, so a member who empties the vault and leaves is a five-second lookup.

The rules

• No alt accounts to farm island-level rewards or the weekly board.
• Lag machines, giant redstone clocks and unbounded mob farms get removed without warning.
• Trading island items for real money, or for goods on other servers, is a permanent ban.
• Be civil in global chat. The island is yours; the chat is shared.

Current status

The server is offline for a scheduled migration to a new host in Montreal with a newer island engine. Islands, levels and balances are being carried over in full, and the Discord announcement channel has the live progress log. Expect a couple of days, not weeks.

How to connect

Once the migration finishes, add sky.lanternmc.io on port 25565 to your Java server list. There is no whitelist. New players get a starter island automatically, and a tutorial NPC at spawn walks through the level system in a couple of minutes.
