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.
