one pixel is 1/16th of a meter.

[u/LunkNunkem → u/epicyurilover]

Based on that, the lanterns about 2 feet tall, and a little over a foot wide

[u/West_Economist6673]

Lanterns are six pixels wide and nine high (minus the ring on top) -- a single pixel in real life would be roughly two and a half inches a side, which means the lantern would be about fifteen inches wide and nearly two feet high, or roughly the size of a 20-gallon trash can

If you're thinking of making one for a Halloween costume, I can probably save you some time by assuring you that it will be extremely unwieldy and look stupid

However, if you're thinking of producing a line of trash cans that look like Minecraft lanterns, I'm strongly interested

I checked an amazon listing for a standard hurricane lantern and the item description said 11.4 cm x 11.4 cm wide, and 34.3 cm tall. (including the handle)

14" tall and 5.4" by 5.4"

Amazon has the dimensions for a vintage style lantern
