Better Beacon Range
No reviews yet
Expand vanilla beacons by dynamically adjusting the range depending on what blocks the pyramid is composed of. Tamed pets inside the range will also have effects applied.
Includes a large focus on traversing worlds with enhanced world generation, structures, dungeons, and more for players to find unique loot.
Paper is a fork of Spigot that adds its own plugin API on top of the Bukkit API. All Spigot plugins are compatible with paper, not all paper plugins are compatible with Spigot.
Spigot is a popular software for running dedicated servers that can load Plugins created with the Bukkit API.

Description
Features
- Dynamic beacon range depending on pyramid blocks
- More expensive blocks = higher range
- Mix and match block types to get the most out of your beacon
- Beacon effects can also be applied to mobs! (configurable)
- Applies to tamed pets by default (horses, dogs, etc.)
- Tinted glass above an active beacon will hide the beam
- Completely configurable!
Notes
- Beacons will only give effects to players if the beacon is in a loaded chunk. Configuring the plugin for higher ranges, or running it on a server with a smaller view distance, means that extra range may get cut off.
