Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting a Beacon
To kick things off, you’ll need some materials. First up, you’ll need a Nether Star. This rare item drops when you defeat the Wither, one of the game’s bosses. You’ll also need glass blocks and some obsidian. Gather three obsidian blocks and five glass blocks to start your beacon adventure.
Once you’ve collected your materials, it’s crafting time! Place the Nether Star in the middle of your crafting table, put three obsidian blocks across the bottom row, and surround the star with glass blocks on the remaining sides. Voila! You’ve got yourself a beacon. But wait, there’s more. You’ll need a pyramid structure made from iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks to activate your beacon. The size of the pyramid can vary, but remember, bigger pyramids mean more powers available to you!
