Description
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.
{
"enable_custom_beacons": true,
"beacon_blocks": {
"minecraft:iron_block": 3,
"minecraft:diamond_block": 7,
"minecraft:netherite_block": 9
