Easy Guide for Beacons in Minecraft

by karen minton I am a software engineer

Beacons are an essential component in Minecraft as the more Beacons you earn, the more benefits you will get in the game. Even though the item has several uses, the process of obtaining it is a bit tricky. You first need to defeat an enemy, then get a Nether Star, then craft the Beacon. The whole journey to Beacon is very typical, and there is an easy way to buy them straightly from the game market, but they are very expensive. So here are the ways guided to get and maintain a Beacon in the Minecraft game.

Crafting a Beacon

The steps for crafting a beacon is very simple but before proceeding further, make sure you have all these resources:

  • A dome of Five glass blocks.
  • A base of three obsidian Blocks.
  • A single Nether Star situation in the middle.

All these ingredients are needed to craft a beacon, and you can get the first two easily, but getting the third one is a bit hard to get. To get the Nether Star, you first have to defeat the Wither and we all know Wither is one of the big bosses in the Minecraft game. When you beat the Wither, it will drop a Nether Star and the Nether Star is the only medium to craft a beacon. So you need to be prepared to tackle him.

Placing your Beacon

To attack and detect the enemies efficiently and easily in the Minecraft, you should place your Beacon at the top of the pyramid. The pyramid can add powers to the Beacon and the players, so placing the Beacon on the top of the pyramid has several benefits. The Pyramids have four levels of structure and are made of iron, diamond, gold, and emerald nine metals or gems. You can select the material as well as the level you would like to place your Beacon.

On the top, the Beacon will stop functioning if anything else will be placed near it. Only glass blocks, transparent blocks, and other beacons are permitted. The four levels of the pyramid:

  • Single level pyramid: It has a very simple structure, an effective range of 20 blocks and a 3×3 square made up of 9 blocks, you can choose the material of your choice. Any addition of Beacon will expand the size of the pyramid.
  • Two-level pyramid: It has an effective range of 30 blocks and a structure of 5×5 square; you can choose the material of your choice. The addition of beacons will make the second level pyramid bigger.
  • Third-level pyramid: it has an effective range of 40 blocks and a structure of 5×5 square; you can add more beacons to it.
  • Fourth-level pyramid: It has the ability of an effective range up to 50 blocks; all the steps are the same for this pyramid.

Power-ups for Beacon

There are a total of six abilities and power-ups in the Beacon. You can choose only two in the first level of pyramid; you will get two more in the second level, one more at level three and another one in level four. You can select any upgrade path from the Beacon’s menu; you can select any path you want, just tap the green checkmark for the confirmation. All your Beacons will memorize your decision and if your pyramids get destroyed or damaged, then these Beacons will revert everything to the same by remembering your upgrades. The list for the upgrades in the game:

  1. Speed- Run fast.
  2. Haste– Mine blocks fast.
  3. Resistance– Save from damage.
  4. Regeneration– Jump higher and farther. Regenerates the power.
  5. Strength– More energy.
  6. Jump Boost– Jump higher and farther.

Tricks for Beacon

Beacon is one of the most important things in Minecraft, so below are the few tips for using the full power of your Beacon:

  1. Beacon powers can be changed: The more metals and gems lying near you, the more you can extract your Beacon’s power.
  2. Beacon never destroyed: If your pyramid faces attack, then don’t worry as all your beacons will be safe; you can back up and build the pyramid again.
  3. Beacons can be mined: You can hide your Beacon anywhere, they can be mined whenever you wish to do it.
