Ever wondered how to light up your Minecraft world in a unique way? Let’s dive into how to use a Minecraft beacon!
Using a Minecraft beacon might sound complex, but it’s actually quite straightforward once you know the steps.
Quick Answer to Using a Minecraft Beacon
To use a beacon in Minecraft, you first need to craft it. You need three obsidian, five glass blocks, and one Nether star. Once crafted, the beacon needs a base made from iron, emerald, gold, or diamond blocks.
After setting up the base, place your beacon on top. Finally, power the beacon by feeding it a piece of iron, gold, emerald, or diamond. This will activate its powers, which you can customize to your preference, including speed, jump boost, strength, regeneration, or increased resistance.
