Quick Steps to Set Up Your Beacon
To set up a beacon in Minecraft, you first need to defeat the Wither and get a Nether Star. Next, craft a beacon with the Nether Star, glass, and obsidian. Now, the fun begins!
Choose a place for your beacon and build a pyramid out of iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite blocks. You can make your pyramid with 1, 2, 3, or 4 layers – bigger pyramids give you more powers. Place your beacon on top of the pyramid, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a beacon!
