What the people who gave one said
Built like the block
7 in tall, 4.9 in wide: the same proportions as the lantern block in the game. Black frame, warm glow between the bars.
16 colors and 4 brightness levels, all from the remote.
Two settings for bedtime
Low warm orange lasts all night on one charge.
The remote dims it or switches it off from the doorway, without walking in. Cordless: it comes off the bracket and goes where he goes.
Relic Lantern™ vs other pixel lanterns
From 1★ and 2★ Amazon reviews of other pixel lanterns:
“needs to be charged every single night”
“the sticky pads included will rip the drywall off”
“the links kept falling apart”
“Stopped working conveniently right after I could no longer return.”

I was that kid.
I started playing Minecraft in late 2013 and got hooked for good. Back then you couldn't buy anything from the game, so I made my own, by hand.
MineRelics makes the pieces I wanted then: things you can hold, hang on a wall and switch on at night.
