Me, too. Are there still plans for a lantern recipe to be in an update? Honestly that's what I was most psyched for when the Halloween update was coming out. Don't ask me why, I don't even know. Anyway, I haven't heard anything about that for a while, I was wondering if it was still in the blueprints.
My idea of what the lantern would have been was basically something the lights up an area twice as much as a torch and you could carry it around with you while it was lit, like attach it to your belt line or something.
It doesn't need to be that bad. Just do it like this:
I have a chest full of cobblestone, just sitting there to be used. This one isn't too hard and not that tedious. Make it so that you can hang it on ceilings, and also light your way while inside your hand. Won't burnout too. Perfect lantern.

It's hard waiting around for something that you know might never happen; but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you ever wanted.
I'm pretty sure that people have already talked about moving light already. From what I remember, the lighting engine isn't awesome/fast enough to handle the moving light.

Still, it doesn't evem need to have moving light, just make it a bit more taxing, but not too much. Try it like this:

Not too taxing, not too tedious to make, and simple.

It is, there are mods that add moving light sources, Notch just doesn't care about figuring it out.
I've never heard of that o: But either way, moving light would probably be the most convenient thing to come out in an update.

dont forget that it was said that if lanterns were implemented that all current torches in your world/inventory/chests etc would be turned into lanterns. meaning that the "OMG MY CITY WOULD GO DARK" argument is null and void. The lantern would replace the torch ID and torches would I assume get a new ID to prevent a flood of rage.

Lanterns are stupid, if Notch adds them, he should add them in a 'hardcore mode' only.
Raise my dragons please!!
You beat me to it; was just going to post this...
Pumpkin + Torch = Jack-O-Lanterns
Stop complaining and play the game.

Explain/link?
That is a better version (I believe) than the one showed above. Looks less clunky.
It is a great mod, works well with my playstyle.
