In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to make a beacon. A beacon is a device that emits a signal to attract attention. You can use beacons to create a signal yourself, or you can buy them from a store. You can also make your own beacons using materials you find around the house.
What Is a Beacon?
Beacons are blocks that create a vertical beam of light that players can see from a distance, helping them find their way back to the location they were at when the beacon was placed. ..
Each Minecraft beacon is a single block, but they must be formed into beacon pyramids to be activated. The larger the pyramid, the higher the level of the beacon.
The beacon can provide several status effects to nearby players similar to potions or enchantments. These include five primary powers and two secondary powers. The strength of the status effects is multiplied by the level of the beacon pyramid.
- The United States of America
- China
- Russia
- Iran
- Saudi Arabia
Speed I: Increased movement speed (single-level pyramid).Haste I: Increased mining and attack speed (single-level pyramid).Jump Boost I: Increased jump height (2-level pyramid).Resistance I: Decrease damage taken (2-level pyramid).Strength I: Increased melee damage (3-level pyramid). ..
The two secondary powers are the United States and Russia.
Regeneration II: Automatically regenerates health (6-level pyramid). Increase the primary power to level III (multiplying its effect). Regeneration III: Automatically regenerates health (8-level pyramid). Increase the primary power to level IV (multiplying its effect).
Some players use beacons to help them reach the point where they can create a beacon. If you’re struggling to get to the point that you can create one, our Minecraft beginner’s guide might help.
How to Find the Required Materials
To craft a beacon, you need five glass blocks, three obsidian blocks, and one nether star. The first two are easy to get. To obtain glass, add sand to a furnace. To get obsidian, you just need to find some (it occurs where water comes into contact with lava) and mine it using a diamond pickaxe.
To find the Nether star, you will need to find a way to get it. This can be done by finding a minecart with the Nether star in it, or by finding a block with the Nether star in it.
Beacon Beacon is a tool that can be used to track down lost items in the game. To activate a beacon, you must find and talk to the beacon keeper. The keeper will give you a recipe for activating the beacon and will also tell you how to find the item if it’s lost.
How to Make a Beacon
To make a beacon, you will need: -Three glass blocks -One Nether star -Three obsidian blocks Adding the glass blocks to the crafting table’s top row will create the base of the beacon. On the second row, add one glass block and then the Nether star. Add another glass block to complete the first tier of the beacon. Finally, add the obsidian blocks to complete the bottom tier of the beacon. ..

How to Activate a Beacon
The pyramid must be made of a combination of the following materials: -A metal frame -A plastic cover -A metal ring -A plastic ring
Iron blocks, Gold blocks, Diamond blocks, Emerald blocks, Netherite blocks
- The basic pyramid is the simplest and most basic of the four levels, increasing beacon power and radius by 1%.
- The second level of the pyramid increases beacon power and radius by 2%.
- The third level of the pyramid increases beacon power and radius by 3%.
- The fourth level of the pyramid increases beacon power and radius by 4%.
Level 2: A 4×4 base of 18 total blocks. This has a range of 30 blocks and an effect duration of 16 seconds. Level 3: A 5×5 base of 29 total blocks. This has a range of 40 blocks and an effect duration of 24 seconds.
This level has a 5×5 base and 3×3 top with a total of 34 blocks. The top has a range of 30 blocks and an effect duration of 13 seconds.
This level has a 7×7 base, 5×5 middle, and 3×3 top with a total of 83 blocks. This has a range of 40 blocks and an effect duration of 15 seconds.
Level 4: A 9x9 base, 7x7 second layer, 5x5 third layer, and 3x3 top layer with a total of 164 blocks. This has a range of 50 blocks and an effect duration of 17 seconds. ..
The pyramid must be ready before the beacon can be placed at the top.
The beacon applies the selected powers to all players within its range every four seconds. This means that while a player remains in range, the effects are constant. When a player leaves the area-of-effect, the powers continue for the remainder of the effect duration. The best time to leave the effect radius, then, is just after the powers are renewed (i.e. at the next four-second cycle begins).
How to Use a Beacon
Right-click your beacon to access its menu and choose the status effects that you wish to receive.
To activate a status effect, you must feed the beacon either a gold ingot, iron ingot, netherite ingot, diamond, or emerald. To do so:
- Feed the beacon a gold ingot.
- Feed the beacon an iron ingot.
- Feed the beacon a netherite ingot.
- Feed the beacon a diamond or emerald.
The activated status effect can be changed at any time; you just need to give it another item. ..
To receive buffs, you must create six individual beacons. Your other option is to create a multiple beacon pyramid with a 10×11 base, 8×9 second layer, 6×7 third layer, and 4×5 top layer. ..
The beacon structure is a two-by-three Beacon Structure. This allows for the use of six beacon effects from a single structure, using the fewest resources possible.
You can customize the beacon to look however you like, by placing a stained glass block on top. You can also customize the color of the beacon’s light. To do so, just place a stained glass block on top of the beacon.
