How Do I Activate a Beacon in Minecraft?

Ever found yourself wondering how to get that beam of light shooting into the sky in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Activating a beacon in Minecraft is a hot topic for players looking to add flair and functionality to their creations.

So, how exactly do you bring a beacon to life in the blocky world of Minecraft? Let’s dive into the details.

Quick Guide to Activating Your Beacon

First things first, you need a beacon. Once you have one, place it on a pyramid made of iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks. The size of the pyramid can vary, but bigger pyramids give the beacon extra powers.

After setting up your pyramid and placing the beacon on top, open the beacon’s interface by right-clicking on it. Here, you’ll need to feed the beacon a resource (iron ingot, gold ingot, emerald, diamond, or netherite ingot) and select the power you desire. Hit the checkmark, and voila! Your beacon shines brightly, casting a magnificent light into the sky and providing you with special effects like Speed, Haste, Resistance, Jump Boost, or Strength.
