Introduction.
The Beacon, in Minecraft, is a powerful block that grants helpful status effects to players within its range.
It can boost your speed, and mining efficiency, and even provide constant regeneration, making it a valuable tool for adventurers and builders alike. However, unlike most items, the Beacon requires a specific setup to function.
This guide will walk you through the process of crafting, activating, and using a Beacon to its full potential, turning you into a beacon of efficiency and power in the world of Minecraft.
How Do I Use Beacon In Minecraft?
The beacon, a shimmering monument to your ingenuity, stands as a symbol of progress in Minecraft.
But this impressive structure offers more than just bragging rights; it grants powerful status effects, making you a force to be reckoned with.
Let’s delve into how to harness the beacon’s potential and unlock its full potential.
1. Crafting the Beacon:
Before you embark on your beacon-building journey, you’ll need to gather the necessary materials:
- 3 Obsidian Blocks: Obtained by pouring water over lava.
- 5 Glass Blocks: Crafted by heating sand in a furnace.
- 1 Nether Star: Acquired by defeating the fearsome Wither boss.
Once you have these items, arrange them in the crafting grid with the obsidian in a vertical column in the center, the glass blocks forming a cross above, and the Nether Star occupying the central slot.
2. Building the Pyramid:
The beacon’s power hinges on its base, a pyramid constructed from specific blocks. Here’s what you need to know:
- Allowed blocks: Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald, or Netherite blocks.
- Pyramid tiers: The more tiers your pyramid has, the greater the beacon’s range and available effects.
- Tier requirements: Tier 1: 9 blocks in a 3×3 base.
- Tier 2: 25 blocks in a 5×5 base.
- Tier 3: 49 blocks in a 7×7 base.
- Tier 4: 81 blocks in a 9×9 base.
3. Activating the Beacon:
- Place the beacon on top of the completed pyramid.
- Right-click on the beacon to access its interface.
- Choose your desired primary power from the left side of the interface. This power becomes stronger with each pyramid tier.
- If your pyramid has four tiers, you can also activate a secondary power (regeneration) by selecting it from the right side.
- Place an Iron Ingot, Gold Ingot, Diamond, Emerald, or Netherite Ingot in the slot below the interface. This fuels the beacon and activates the chosen effects.
- Click the check mark button to confirm your selection.
4. Behold the Power:
With the beacon activated, you’ll be enveloped in a dazzling beam of light, marking your location from afar. More importantly, you’ll receive the chosen status effects within the beacon’s radius, enhancing your abilities:
- Speed: Boosts your movement speed.
- Haste: Increases mining speed and attack speed.
- Resistance: Reduces incoming damage.
- Jump Boost: Enhances your jumping height.
- Strength: Increases melee attack damage.
- Regeneration (Tier 4 only): Continuously heals you over time.
Tips and Tricks:
- Multiple beacons can share the same pyramid base, maximizing efficiency.
- Transparent blocks like glass don’t obstruct the beacon’s beam.
- Strategically place your beacon near your base or frequently visited areas for maximum benefit.
Conclusion.
By mastering the beacon, you’ll elevate your gameplay, conquer challenges with greater ease, and leave a lasting mark on your Minecraft world.
So, gather your resources, unleash your creativity, and embark on your beacon-building adventure!
