How Do You Use Beacons in Minecraft? A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how to use beacons in Minecraft to upgrade your gameplay? You’re not alone. Beacons are powerful blocks that can give you special powers, but how do you set them up and get them working?

Let’s break down the steps to use beacons in Minecraft, making your adventures even more amazing.

Setting Up Your Beacon

To use a beacon in Minecraft, first, you need a beacon! You can get one by defeating the Wither boss and crafting it. Once you have your beacon, you need to build a pyramid base for it made of iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite blocks. The size of the pyramid (1 to 4 layers) determines the area of effect and the types of powers available.

Place your beacon on the top center block of the pyramid. When correctly placed, the beacon will shoot a beam of light into the sky, and you’ll be able to access its menu. In this menu, you can choose from various powers like Speed, Jump Boost, Strength, Regeneration, or Resistance. Powering up the beacon requires a piece of iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite ingot, so make sure to have some handy!

Powering Up and Enjoying the Benefits

After you’ve selected your desired power and fed the beacon with your chosen ingot, you’ll immediately start to experience the boost. Keep in mind, the larger your pyramid base, the more powers you can activate simultaneously and the greater their range.

Beacons are a game-changer in Minecraft, enabling you to tailor your environment to suit your play style. Want to move faster, jump higher, or resist damage? A beacon can make it happen. Just remember, building a full pyramid requires a significant amount of resources, so start mining!
