Beacons

Beacons are a beam of light that shines infinitely upward. They help players find their way around the world and not get lost.

They give players special powers/effect. You have to right click on the beacon, and a inventory screen will pop up. You have to give the beacon either iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite, and it does not depend on what you make it out of.

Beacon power screen

You can have different powers including: Strength, speed, haste, resistance, jump boost, and regeneration

The powers depend on the pyramid size.

The powers last for a few seconds.

To make a beacon, place 3 by 3 minimum pyramid of either iron, gold, diamond, emerald or netherite. Place a beacon in the middle of it.

Tip:

You can make the beacon colourful by adding a glass block that is coloured, over the beacon's beam.
