How to Use a Beacon in Minecraft: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how to harness the power of a beacon in Minecraft? You’re not alone! This article will guide you through the steps to use a beacon effectively.

So, how exactly do you use a beacon in Minecraft? Let’s dive in and discover the ins and outs of beacon use in one of the most popular games around.

Setting Up Your Beacon

First up, you need a beacon. (Surprise, surprise!) You get this shiny prize by defeating the Wither, a boss creature. After that victory dance, you’ll have a Nether Star, which you can use to craft your beacon.

But a beacon alone won’t do much. You need to build a pyramid base for it. Use iron, emerald, diamond, gold, or netherite blocks. The bigger this base, the more powerful your beacon beam!

Activating and Using Your Beacon

Next step: activation. Place your beacon on the pyramid top and feed it a gem—either an emerald, diamond, iron ingot, gold ingot, or netherite ingot. This will light up the beacon, shooting a beam into the sky and opening its user interface.

In the beacon’s menu, you get to pick the superpowers you want. Speed, jump boost, strength, resistance, or haste—choose what fits your adventure. Remember: bigger pyramids unlock more powers and let you select multiple boosts at once.
