Ever wondered about the bright beam shooting up into the Minecraft sky? That’s a beacon at work! But how exactly do you use a beacon in Minecraft? Let’s dive into the colorful world of Minecraft beacons and find out.
Using a beacon in Minecraft is like flipping on a giant flashlight in the sky. But it’s not just for show; it does some pretty cool stuff. Are you ready to learn how to light up your Minecraft world?
Lighting Up Your World: How to Use a Beacon
First off, to use a beacon, you need a beacon. Sounds obvious, right? You can get one by defeating the Wither boss and crafting it with glass, obsidian, and a Nether Star. Place your beacon on a pyramid made of iron, gold, diamond, or emerald blocks. The bigger the pyramid, the more powers your beacon will have!
Once your beacon sits on top of its shiny pyramid, just right-click on it. You’ll see a menu where you can choose super-cool effects like Speed, Jump Boost, Strength, Regeneration, or Resistance. Pick the power-up, feed the beacon an ingot, and voila! Enjoy your chosen boost within the beacon’s range.
