How to Use a Beacon in Minecraft PC: A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how to use a beacon in Minecraft on your PC? Beacons are super cool items that can give you some neat powers. Let’s dive into how you can set up and use a beacon to up your Minecraft game!

So, let’s talk about using a beacon in Minecraft when you’re playing on a PC. These shiny beams of light don’t just look awesome; they can boost your gameplay in tons of ways.

Setting Up Your Beacon

First things first, you need to build a pyramid base out of iron, emerald, gold, or diamond blocks. The bigger your pyramid, the more powerful your beacon. You can start with a simple 3×3 base for a level one pyramid, and expand it all the way up to a 9×9 base for a level four pyramid. Then, plonk your beacon on top!

Once your beacon is set on your pyramid, you need to fuel it with a gem (either an emerald, diamond, iron ingot, or a netherite ingot) by accessing the beacon’s menu. Then, pick your desired power-up, like Speed or Jump Boost, and activate it. Voila! Your area just got upgraded.

Using Your Beacon like a Pro

So, you’ve got your beacon shining bright. It’s not just for show. Depending on the size of your pyramid, you can activate different levels of powers. And, if you’ve built a full, level four pyramid, you can even choose two powers to run at the same time! Just remember, the effect only works within a certain range of the beacon.

But there’s more! Beacons can also shoot a beam of light into the sky, making it super easy to spot your base from far away. Plus, if you place a stained glass block above the beacon, you can change the color of the beam for some extra flair.
