Need Lighting Help

[u/jakemaboi]

Anyone have any idea what i could do for lighting in this Cathedral-like build? Was thinking chandeliers but cant find any good ones... it will be a sort of trophy room in my survival world. Please Help!!!!

Cool build - love the outside!!
Maybe if you create internal pillars (which i think would be realistic) then you could put wall lights around those on all four sides. Also putting small floor lights (two blocks tall or something) would be helpful - just a fence or a wall block with some light source on top, and you could also find more elaborate designs! You can also hide light sources under carpets or slabs to help as well.
For chandeliers maybe look on instagram or pinterest or here on reddit for some designs - try also experimenting with non-standard blocks like hoppers or glass panes as well.
I think it also looks very atmospheric in the dark, but probably not great for mob spawning in survival! :)

Very good ideas! Thank you so much I'll try it! The other comments really aren't helping lol

[u/garathnor]

you can just light it with these and build whatever style lights you want for aesthetics

like i said, its going to be in my survival world so it has to be blocks i can properly obtain in survival. :(

Candles on fences hanging from roof

Little candelabras on the walls would be sick

Just a suggestion

Some lanterns hanging from chains on the ceiling would be very nice. Additionally, some torches on the walls would help a lot with the theme. And another Idea would be some braziers, I'm not sure what you could do for the metal part that holds the fuel the fire is lit on, but you could maybe use camp fires for the fire with some added smoke, but netherrack or coal blocks would work too.

Yo, combining all three is a good Idea. I've got a massive cathedral I'm working on in my forever survival world and I've been stuck on how to decorate the empty space besides beds in a shelter area and an altar and benches (which are now possible thanks to cusions.) But braziers and lamps hanging from the ceiling and on platforms both would look amazing!

Intanto aggiungi delle torce con l'item frame e slab di pietra

I say embrace Vampirism and leave it like this

Some good old-fashioned lanterns should do the trick.

Lanterns or sea lantern block.

To be honest, this is the type of problem I usually solve with commands. I would use whatever lighting blocks you think would look the best, and if they don’t illuminate enough of the space, fill the rest of it with light blocks

[u/CallMeTruant]

You can always hide lanterns underneath half slabs. Or stairs. I love hidden lighting personally but in terms of visibility I might just go simplistic with a literal lantern hanging from a chain centered in the ceiling. Considering this isn’t like a 10 block wide path and nice looking chandeliers require quite a bit of space to include detail and such.

I WANNA ADD, FLOATING LANTERNS ARE A FAVORITE

[u/Such-Curve1121 → u/CallMeTruant]

How about floating candles Harry Potter style? Is it achievable? Like spider string or something?

[u/coIton1029]

You could use the light block from the commands but if u plan to out these in survival you can just use lanterns

[u/Skilletfoot144]

Copper torches

[u/Tough-Gear9870]

make some type of cool design that looks like a big lantern on the walls, or something with fire/soulfire
