How to Make a Beacon Work in Minecraft: A Simple Guide

Wondering how to get that shiny beacon to work in Minecraft? You’ve come to the right place. Let’s break down how to make a beacon light up your Minecraft world.

If you’ve stumbled upon or crafted a beacon and now you’re scratching your head thinking, “How do I make this thing work in Minecraft?” then this article is your beacon of hope!

Quick Start Guide to Activating a Beacon

First things first, to make a beacon work, you need a pyramid base. This isn’t your everyday sandcastle project—it’s a structure made from iron, gold, emerald, netherite, or diamond blocks.

Stack these precious blocks in a pyramid shape. You can start small with a 3×3 square at the bottom and work your way up to a massive 9×9 base for maximum power. Pop your beacon on top, and voila, you’ve got yourself a working beacon!

Lighting Up Your World and Beyond

Once your beacon is proudly perched atop its pyramid throne, it’s time to bring it to life. Just open the beacon’s interface, and choose the superpower you want. Whether it’s super speed, jump boost, or making your enemies shake in their boots, your beacon’s got you covered.

But remember, to keep the magic alive, you’ll need to offer a tribute to your beacon—a precious gem like an emerald, diamond, or netherite. This is the fuel that keeps your beacon’s powers going. Choose your power, feed it a gem, and watch your world change before your eyes.
