📖About Custom Better Beacon

Better Beacons

A powerful, flexible overhaul for Minecraft beacons.

Better Beacons makes beacons more useful by giving them massive, chunk based ranges and letting you use almost any block as a base. Effects stick with you even if the beacon unloads, making it the perfect tool for large bases and survival projects.

Key Features

  • Custom Bases: Use any block type you want. From Iron to Netherite, or even custom modded blocks.
  • Massive Range: Beacons now cover entire square areas of chunks. No more losing your haste effect because you walked 50 blocks away.
  • Smart Material Logic: When you mix blocks in a pyramid, the beacon's range is decided by the weakest block used. Build consistent layers for the best results.
  • Persistent Effects: Your beacon powers stay active as long as you're in range, even if the server unloads the beacon's area to save memory.
  • Server Side Only: No client mod needed (although works offline too). Your friends can join with a vanilla game and everything will work perfectly.

Player Guide

How Ranges Work

Instead of blocks, this mod counts Chunks (16x16 areas).

  • Iron/Gold: Covers a 3x3 chunk area.
  • Emerald: Covers a 5x5 chunk area.
  • Diamond: Covers a 7x7 chunk area.
  • Netherite: Covers a massive 9x9 chunk area.

Building Your Beacon

You build the pyramid just like in vanilla Minecraft. Thanks to our dynamic tag engine, any block you configure as a beacon base will automatically show a beam and work perfectly for all players, even those on vanilla clients.


Admin Commands

Level 2 OP permission required.

Manage your beacon settings directly in-game:

  • /betterbeacons set <block> [radius] - Add or change a block's range (example: /betterbeacons set minecraft:dirt 3).
  • /betterbeacons remove <block> - Stop a specific block from working as a custom beacon base.
  • /betterbeacons list - See every block that currently has a custom range.
  • /betterbeacons reload - Refresh settings if you manually edited the config file.

Advanced Customization

Server owners can find the configuration file at config/betterbeacons.json. You can add any block ID here and set its chunk diameter. Size 3 means a radius of 1 chunk around the center.

{
  "enable_custom_beacons": true,
  "beacon_blocks": {
    "minecraft:iron_block": 3,
    "minecraft:diamond_block": 7,
    "minecraft:netherite_block": 9
  }
}

Roadmap

We are working to bring Better Beacons to more versions of Minecraft.

  • 1.21.09 Support - Coming Soon
  • 1.21.10 Support - Coming Soon
  • 1.21.11 Support - Coming Soon
