BirthdayLanterns Guide

This page introduces BirthdayLanterns from a public server-docs point of view. It focuses on what the feature does in-game, how to get started when you have access, and which commands are useful.

BirthdayLanterns gives players collectible lanterns for birthdays, player anniversaries, and 1MoreBlock.com server milestones. The feature is meant to make long-term participation feel visible: players can claim keepsake lantern badges, keep one in an item frame or museum, and use finite wish…

Players use /birthday to open the GUI. From there they can review claimable lanterns, set their birthday, toggle visibility/effects/greetings, choose particle and sound presets, send their personalized celebration mail, and read guestbook notes.

Lantern items are marked with server item data. A normal right-click opens the BirthdayLanterns GUI. Sneak-right-click activates the lantern:

  • Open or view BirthdayLanterns with /birthday.
  • Check your own BirthdayLanterns progress or settings with /birthday status.
  • Update your own BirthdayLanterns settings with commands such as /birthday set 03-07.
  1. Start with /birthday to open or view BirthdayLanterns.
  2. Use /birthday status to check your current progress, settings, or state.
  3. Use /birthday info when you want the in-game help or a short explanation.
  4. Try /birthday set 03-07 when you are ready to use one of the feature actions.
