Last updated
Ever wondered how to light up your Minecraft world in a unique way? Making a beacon is one of the coolest things you can do! Let’s dive into how you can create this powerful block and spruce up your virtual landscape.
So, you’re itching to know how to make a beacon in Minecraft, right? Well, you’re in the perfect spot to learn just that!
Steps to Craft Your Beacon
First things first, to make a beacon, you need to defeat the Wither, a boss creature in Minecraft. When you conquer this baddie, it drops a Nether Star, the core ingredient for your beacon. Exciting, isn’t it?
After getting your hands on a Nether Star, it’s crafting time! Surround a Nether Star with five glass blocks and three obsidian blocks on a crafting table, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a beacon. Now, just power it with a pyramid made from iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks, and you’re all set!
