Ever wondered how to set up a beacon in Minecraft to give your game a power-up? Let’s break it down in easy steps.

Setting up a beacon in Minecraft can really spice up your game, giving you special powers and making your world look cool. So, how do you do it?

The Short Answer to Setting Up a Beacon

First things first, you’ll need to gather some materials: a beacon (obviously), and blocks of iron, gold, emerald, or diamond to build the pyramid base. Yes, a pyramid!

Place the beacon on top of the pyramid you build from these blocks. The size and layers of your pyramid will determine the range and strength of the powers the beacon gives you. Bigger is better in this case.
