How to Build a Beacon in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to make your Minecraft world shine with a beacon? Well, you’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive right into how you can build a beacon in Minecraft to light up your world.
Short and Sweet: Building a Beacon
First things first, you need to gather some materials. To build a beacon, you’ll need three obsidian blocks, five glass blocks, and one Nether star. Yes, that Nether star means you’ll have to defeat a Wither – not the easiest task, but definitely worth it!
Once you have all the materials, place the three obsidian blocks in the bottom row of your crafting table, the Nether star in the center, and fill the remaining slots with glass blocks. Voila! You’ve got yourself a beacon.
