To craft and use a beacon in Minecraft to give your character major upgrades, you will need the following items:
- Nether Star: This is a rare item that can be found by defeating the Wither boss.
- 5 Glass Blocks: These can be crafted by smelting sand in a furnace.
- 3 Obsidian Blocks: These can be mined in the Nether.
- Iron Ingot: This can be smelted from iron ore.
Once you have the necessary items, you can craft the beacon by placing the nether star in the center of a crafting table, surrounded by 4 glass blocks, 4 obsidian blocks, and 1 iron ingot.
To use the beacon, you need to place it on a solid block and activate it with a diamond, emerald, gold, or netherite ingot. The beacon will then emit a beam of light that can provide a variety of buffs to players within its range.
The type of buff that the beacon provides depends on the material that you use to activate it. Here are the different buffs that you can get:
- Speed: Activated with a diamond ingot. Gives players a speed boost.
- Strength: Activated with an iron ingot. Gives players a strength boost.
- Regeneration: Activated with a gold ingot. Gives players a regeneration boost.
- Resistance: Activated with a netherite ingot. Gives players a resistance boost.
- Haste: Activated with an emerald ingot. Gives players a haste boost.
The range of the beacon depends on the number of beacon blocks that you place around it. Each beacon block increases the range by 20 blocks.
You can also change the color of the beacon beam by using different colored glass.
Beacons are a powerful tool that can give your character major upgrades. They are a great way to improve your mining, combat, and building skills.
