How Does a Beacon Work on Minecraft?

Ever wondered how a beacon works in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Let’s break down this magical block’s functionality, so you can light up your Minecraft world.

How does this shining tower, known as a beacon, actually do its job in Minecraft? It’s time to dig into the glowing details.

Short Answer to a Bright Question

A beacon in Minecraft serves as a unique power source. When you place it on a pyramid made from iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite blocks, it shoots a beam of light into the sky and grants nearby players special powers like speed, jump boost, strength, regeneration, or increased mining speed.

But it’s not just about building a shiny tower. To activate these powers, you need to feed the beacon with a gem, either an emerald, diamond, iron ingot, or a netherite ingot. This opens a user interface where you can choose the powers you want to boost. Remember, the size of your pyramid affects the range and strength of the powers. Bigger is better in the case of beacon pyramids!
