How To Set Up A Haste 2 Beacon

A buoy is a cake that projects a light axle skyward and tin provide status effects such as Speed, Jump Boost, Haste, Regeneration, Resistance, or Strength to nearby players.

Obtaining [ ]

Breaking [ ]

A beacon tin can be mined successfully with any tool. When destroyed by an explosion, the cake always drops equally an item.

Usage [ ]

In Bedrock Edition, beacons can too be waterlogged and acquit redstone power at the same fourth dimension. When "activated", beacon blocks provide two unique functions:

A landmark beam reaching into the heaven, which tin can be visible from far away.
Powers, which give players status effects inside a certain range.

Activation [ ]

The beacon base can be made of the different mineral blocks combined.

In society to activate a beacon, the buoy must meet the following requirements:

Beacons require an unobstructed view of the sky.
Transparent blocks (drinking glass, water, etc.) and boulder (the nether ceiling) are allowed.
The buoy is on top of a pyramid constructed from iron blocks, gilt blocks, emerald blocks, diamond blocks, and/or netherite blocks.

Pyramids [ ]

Pyramids are the structures required to activate beacons. At that place are 4 possible pyramid heights. More pyramid levels make more than powers available in a wider affected vicinity. The blazon of mineral block used to build the pyramid is entirely cosmetic and has no functional upshot. Several different cake types can be mixed without affecting functionality. If the pyramid is damaged and so that the buoy deactivates, the previously-set powers resume their effects upon reactivation when the pyramid is repaired. This applies to piston-contradistinct pyramids as well.

4	164 (2 stacks + 36 blocks)	1476	9×9, vii×7, 5×5, 3×iii, beacon

This half dozen-Buoy pyramid provides all six furnishings from a unmarried construction using the fewest mineral blocks possible.

Multiple beacons can make utilise of the same specific mineral blocks below them. Combined pyramids practice not need to be symmetrical. The image to the right shows a 6-beacon (two by 3) pyramid. It requires a full of 244 mineral blocks, with a base layer of x by 11.

2	62	558	6×7, 4×5, beacons
3	134 (2 stacks + 6 blocks)	1206	eight×9, six×7, 4×v, beacons
four	244 (3 stacks + 52 blocks)	2196	10×11, 8×9, 6×7, four×v, beacons

Axle [ ]

A vertical beam appears from a beacon if the beacon is activated, extending from the buoy block up to beyond the top of the world.

In Java Edition, the beam is visible up to 1342 blocks away.
In Bedrock Edition, the axle is visible up to 64 blocks away, regardless of how loftier the render distance is set.^[1]

The color of the beam may be changed by placing blocks of stained glass (or stained glass panes) anywhere above the beacon block. The axle changes colors according to the colors of glass placed above it: the first cake sets the beam colour, while each additional block sets the color by averaging the ruddy, green, and blue components of the current axle color and the cake's colour. The color values are the same every bit those for the corresponding dye. This as well works using hardened stained glass and hardened stained glass panes.‌^{[ Bedrock and Education editions only ]}

As the blending algorithm is considerably simpler than that of leather-dyeing, a much larger part of the sRGB space is available. A player may experiment with stacking glass, although programs that summate combinations are besides available.

Beacon beams cannot go through most blocks, but can get through bedrock (to allow beacons to be used in the Nether) and end portal frames.

Powers [ ]

The GUI shown when pressing utilise on the cake.

In one case the buoy is emitting a beam, information technology can then exist fed one iron ingot, gold ingot, emerald, diamond, or netherite ingot to select the status effects given to players within range of the beacon. This is washed through the beacon's GUI, displayed by pressing use while looking at the beacon cake. It doesn't matter which of the items is fed into the beacon.

In the GUI, the player places the item to be fed in the empty slot and clicks an result from the "Chief Power" section on the left. If the buoy is sitting on a iv-level pyramid, the "Secondary Power" section on the right too becomes active. The player can so choose either to plough on the Regeneration power in improver to the Chief Power or to heighten the master power to Level Ii. The user clicks the "Done" button (green checkmark), the item is consumed, and the ability(s) become activated. To change the beacon's powers, this procedure must exist followed once more, consuming another ingot or gem.

If the pyramid is broken, effects deactivate or weaken, or the beacon deactivates entirely depending on the level of the pyramid that is no longer consummate. Upon restoration of the pyramid, the originally selected power returns without the need to spend another particular.

The v Principal Powers are:

Speed I: Increased motion speed.
Haste I: Increased mining and attack speed.
Resistance I: Decreased nearly all incoming damage (2-level pyramid required).
Jump Boost I: Increased jumping distance and height (2-level pyramid required).
Strength I: Increased melee damage (three-level pyramid required).

The Secondary Powers available with a four-level pyramid are:

Regeneration I: Regenerates health.
Increasing the Main Ability to level II.

Information technology is also possible to combine two different primary Level I powers:

select a chief ability in the left panel
select the Level II option in the correct panel
select the 2nd desired power back in the left panel

Only one of the 2 powers appear to be selected, although both furnishings are active.‌^{[ Java Edition simply ]}

Every four seconds, the selected powers are practical with a duration of 9 seconds, plus ii seconds per pyramid level, to all players in range. Thus, when powers are inverse or a player travels exterior the surface area-of-issue, the powers persist for five–9 seconds, or 13-17 seconds with a total pyramid.

Range [ ]

The beacon affects an area in the shape of a square cavalcade, which reaches downward and out to each side at a range determined by the size of the pyramid base of operations (see table below), and upwardly a altitude of that range + 384 blocks.

The altitude from the player to the beacon cake does not affect the intensity of the status event.

Pyramid size	Effect range (blocks)	Issue elapsing (seconds)
1 level	20	eleven
2 levels	xxx	xiii
three levels	forty	15
4 levels	l	17

Calorie-free source [ ]

Buoy blocks tin function as lite sources, emitting a lite level 15. Like other light sources, they melt snowfall and water ice.

Piston interactivity [ ]

Beacons are block entities, so they cannot be pushed or pulled by pistons or viscous pistons.‌^{[ Java Edition only ]}

Cake information [ ]

A beacon has a cake entity associated with it that holds additional data about the cake.

Java Edition:

Cake entity data
- CustomName: Optional. The name of this beacon in JSON text component, which appears when attempting to open it, while it is locked.
- Lock: Optional. When not blank, prevents the container from being opened unless the opener is holding an particular whose name matches this cord.
- Levels: The number of levels bachelor from the pyramid. Immediately changes to the correct value if modified using commands.
- Primary: The primary effect selected, see Potion effects for IDs. Set to -i when no upshot is selected. Cannot exist fix to an effect which beacons practise not normally use, otherwise immediately changes dorsum to -1. Although Regeneration cannot normally be called as the principal effect, setting this value to 10 works and even allows Regeneration II to be chosen as the secondary via the normal beacon GUI.
- Secondary: The secondary outcome selected, see Potion furnishings for IDs. Set to -i when no effect is selected. Cannot be set to an effect which beacons do not unremarkably use, otherwise immediately changes dorsum to -one. When fix without a primary event, does cypher. When set to the aforementioned as the master, the effect is given at level two (the normally available beliefs for five effects). When set to a different value than the master (normally but Regeneration), gives the upshot at level 1.

Issues [ ]

Problems relating to "Beacon" are maintained on the bug tracker. Written report bug there.

Trivia [ ]

The map icon texture is subconscious in the transparent function of the buoy axle texture in Java Edition 12w38a.

The texture of the beacon is 16×16 simply renders only the x×10 area in the centre.
It is possible to run across the beacon beam on the bottom of an activated beacon. This was initially reported as a issues, simply the resolution was "won't gear up", despite a fix beingness provided.^[2]
There are 12,326,391 different axle colors.
Despite information technology containing obsidian in its recipe, information technology does non demand a diamond pickaxe to be mined.
A fully powered beacon tin can fit inside the upper level of the Desert Temple with the beacon'south beam perfectly being placed in the hole at the top.
