Better Beacons

A powerful, flexible overhaul for Minecraft beacons.

Better Beacons makes beacons more useful by giving them massive, chunk based ranges and letting you use almost any block as a base. Effects stick with you even if the beacon unloads, making it the perfect tool for large bases and survival projects.

Features

• Configurable Ranges: Define custom chunk-based radius for any block type.
• Absurd Range Support: Beacons can affect players across massive distances, persisting even when the beacon's chunk is unloaded.
• Carpet Hiding: Place a wool carpet directly on top of a beacon to hide its beam while maintaining its effects.
• Server-Sided: Works with vanilla clients; no mod installation required for players.
• Dynamic Updates: Changes to the configuration are applied immediately, including visual synchronization update messages.

Player Guide

How Ranges Work

Instead of blocks, this mod counts Chunks (16x16 areas).

• Iron/Gold: Covers a 3x3 chunk area.
• Emerald: Covers a 5x5 chunk area.
• Diamond: Covers a 7x7 chunk area.
• Netherite: Covers a massive 9x9 chunk area.

Building Your Beacon

You build the pyramid just like in vanilla Minecraft. Thanks to our dynamic tag engine, any block you configure as a beacon base will automatically show a beam and work perfectly for all players, even those on vanilla clients.

Admin Commands

Level 2 OP permission required.

Manage your beacon settings directly in-game:

• /betterbeacons set <block> [radius] - Add or change a block's range (example: /betterbeacons set minecraft:dirt 3).
• /betterbeacons remove <block> - Stop a specific block from working as a custom beacon base.
• /betterbeacons list - See every block that currently has a custom range.
• /betterbeacons reload - Refresh settings if you manually edited the config file.

Advanced Customization

Server owners can find the configuration file at config/betterbeacons.json. You can add any block ID here and set its chunk diameter. Size 3 means a radius of 1 chunk around the center.
