How to Power a Beacon in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to give your Minecraft world a little extra pizzazz with a glowing beacon? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can power a beacon and make your Minecraft world shine.
So, how do you actually light up a beacon in Minecraft? It’s simpler than you might think, but it does require some preparation and resources.
The Short Answer to Lighting Up Your Beacon
To power a beacon in Minecraft, first, you need a beacon (obviously) and then a pyramid made of iron, gold, emerald, netherite, or diamond blocks. The bigger the pyramid, the more powerful the beacon’s effects!
You’ll place the beacon on top of the pyramid. After setting it up, open the beacon’s menu to choose your desired power-up. You’ll also need at least one ingot of the material your pyramid is made of to activate the beacon. And boom! Your beacon will glow brightly, casting its magic far and wide.
