How to Make a Minecraft Beacon: Lighting Up Your World
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can light up your Minecraft world with a beacon? Look no further! We’re breaking down the steps to create your very own beacon in Minecraft.
Creating a beacon in Minecraft isn’t just about lighting up the area. It’s about making a mark, showing off your achievements, and, of course, gaining some cool perks. Let’s dive into how you can create this shining symbol of success.
The Quick Answer: Crafting a Beacon in Minecraft
To make a beacon in Minecraft, you first need to defeat the Wither and grab a Nether Star. Next, surround the Nether Star with glass blocks on top and a layer of obsidian at the bottom in a crafting table. That’s your beacon!
But wait, there’s more! Simply having a beacon isn’t enough. You’ll need to create a pyramid base made of iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks to activate it. The bigger your pyramid (up to 4 levels), the more powerful your beacon’s effects will be.
How to Make a Minecraft Beacon and Why It’s Cool
Why go through the hassle of making a beacon? Well, aside from lighting up your world, beacons provide status effects like speed, jump boost, strength, regeneration, and resistance. This is incredibly helpful whether you’re mining, battling mobs, or just moving around.
Constructing your beacon is also a rite of passage. It shows you’ve mastered the art of survival and are ready to take on bigger challenges. Plus, designing your pyramid base is a fun way to show off your creativity.
