im trying to start my own village but the blueprint isnt registering lanterns at all so i cannot create the storage house. It also says i need 400 hearts to progress in rank, no matter what village i go to.
edit - this is in 1.16.5

The storage requires lectern, not laterns :)
And yea, if you start your own village, you wont be a king automatically. You still need to earn trust first.
