Beacon (beacon) is a light that shines straight up into the sky, extremely difficult to make. So, making beacons is a great way for you to present yourself as a “Minecraft master”. Read the article below to know how to make a beacon in Minecraft.
I. Materials you need to create Beacon in Minecraft
Beacon is a precious item in Minecraft, so you will need to put in real effort to craft it.
1. Glass
We start with the easiest material, which is glass. You can easily get Sand blocks from the beach or desert.
Prepare at least 5 blocks and put it in the furnace, add fuel and you will get Glass.
2. Obsidian
Next, you will need to mine Obsidian. Obsidian isn’t too hard to find, but you’ll need to use it Diamond Pickaxe only then can it be exploited.
When you find a lava lake (on the ground or in a cave), you just need to pour water so that the water flows over the lava. The combination of these two elements will create Obsidian.
3. Metal block
Metal Blocks I am referring to are Iron Blocks, Diamond Blocks, Gold Blocks, Emerald Blocks or Netherite Blocks.
While you don’t need metal blocks to craft beacons, they are necessary to build the Pyramids. At a minimum, you should have 9 Iron Blocks and the more the better.
4. Nether Star
Finally, the Nether Star – a rare item that can only be obtained by defeating one The Wither boss. The Wither does not appear as a normal mob, you need to create it yourself.
Step 1: Enter the Nether by creating Nether Portals.
Step 2: In the Nether, mine at least four blocks of Soul sand. This is a grayish brown sand found on the surface of the Nether.
Step 3: Next, you go to the Fortress to fight mobs Wither skeleton. This is a skeleton that is black and wields a sword instead of a bow, they are much stronger. When defeated, it has a 2.5% chance to drop a skull. You need to have all 3 skulls.
Step 4: Once you have enough Wither summoning materials, you should back to normal world to call it out. Please put Soul sand into a T-pattern, then put 3 skulls on top.
Step 5: When the Wither appears, quickly run away from it. Because it will refill the health bar and create a big explosion around.
After the explosion, you start fighting to destroy it, so combine a variety of weapons and have a suitable strategy. Be really focused!
Step 6: After the Wither is killed, it will drop a Nether Star. All you have to do is pick it up.
II. Crafting Beacon (beacon) in Minecraft
Once you have enough materials, making beacons is simple. Go to the crafting table and add:
- 3 Obsidian at the bottom
- 1 Nether Star in the middle
- Fill the glass in the remaining cells
And that’s how you get the beacon. However, if it was alone, it would be useless. To shoot a beam of light into the sky and harness the true power of the beacon, you’ll need to place it on top of the Pyramid.
III. Crafting the Beacon Pyramid
A beacon will only activate when placed on a Pyramid. To build this Pyramid you will need Iron, Gold, Emerald, Diamond or Netherite Blocks (as mentioned above). You can use only one or a combination of these 4 resources at the same time when building the Pyramid.
The pyramid can be upgraded to a maximum of 4 levels, each level bringing more power.
- Level 1: A 3×3 floor, with a total of 9 blocks.
- Level 2: Lower floor 5×5, upper floor 3×3, 34 blocks total.
- Level 3: Lower floor 7×7, middle floor 5×5, top floor 3×3, total 83 blocks.
- Level 4: Bottom floor 9×9, next floor 7×7, floor near top 5×5, top floor 3×3, total 164 blocks.
When you finish building the surface of the Pyramid, place the beacon on top, it will be activated immediately. Here is an example of a Level 1 Pyramid:
And the Level 4 Pyramid…
IV. How to use beacons to increase power in Minecraft
Once the beacon is activated, you can right-click it to open the power-up menu.
First you need Click to select the power you want to use in the Primary Power frame (first) and Secondary Power (2). Then you add a metal ingot to the empty box any (3) and press the sign ✔ (4).
Then you will receive power depending on the type you choose:
- Speed: Increases Movement Speed
- Haste: Increases Mining and Attack Speed
- Resistance: Reduces almost any damage
- Jump Boost: Jump higher and farther
- Strength: Increases the power of melee weapons
You should note that these buffs only work in a certain area of effect depending on the level of the Pyramid. Level 1 Pyramid is limited to 20 blocks, Level 4 Pyramid is limited to 50 blocks. When out of the zone, the boost will take 10-15 seconds.
If you pick a power, but then want to change your mind and choose another, just go back to the Pyramid and add another ingot. To activate all powers at once, you need to create a large Pyramid and place 6 beacons on it.
The class pyramid has the following dimensions:
- Bottom floor: 10×11
- Next floor: 8×9
- Next floor: 6×7
- Top floor: 4×5
V. Change the color of the beacon
Simply place a Piece of Stained Glass on top of the beacon, it will change the light to the color of the glass.
To make stained glass, place 1 dye in the middle and 8 pieces of glass around it. Then go to the Pyramids, hold Shift to sit down and put stained glass on beacon.
Above are all instructions about beacons in Minecraft, wish you happy gaming!
