How to Use a Beacon in Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to use a beacon in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Beacons are super cool items that can give you special powers. Let’s dive into how to use them.
So, you’ve got your hands on a beacon in Minecraft, and now you’re thinking, “What’s next? How do I use this thing?” We’ve got you covered!
Setting Up Your Beacon: The Basics
First, you’ll need to create a pyramid base for your beacon. You can use iron, gold, emerald, or diamond blocks. The size of your pyramid (which can be 1 to 4 levels) determines how wide the beacon’s effect reaches and which effects you can activate.
Next, place your beacon on top of the pyramid. Right-click on the beacon, and a menu will pop up. Here, you can choose the primary powers you want, like Speed or Jump Boost. Remember, the larger your pyramid, the more powers you can unlock!
Maximizing Your Beacon’s Benefits
To really make the most of your beacon, feed it a piece of iron, gold, emerald, or diamond, and then select your desired power. Don’t forget to hit the checkmark to confirm your choice! If you’ve built a four-level pyramid, you also get to choose a secondary power, like Regeneration.
Beacons are not just for show; they can give you a serious edge in your Minecraft adventures. Whether it’s mining faster, jumping higher, or running quicker, beacons make everything more fun.
