Advanced Beacons
Advanced Beacons adds 5 beacon tiers with increased range, multiple potion effects per beacon, and no need for a huge pyramid of material blocks.
Do you want to improve vanilla beacons? Then Advanced Beacons might be for you. Advanced Beacons adds 5 new beacon tiers to the game, each with its own crafting recipe. Every tier increases the beacon’s range and allows multiple potion effects per beacon, meaning you no longer need to place several beacons just to access all effects. No large pyramid of iron, gold, diamond, or netherite blocks is required. Additionally, Advanced Beacons can add more potion effects to beacons. This feature can be completely disabled for a more vanilla-friendly experience.
💡 Features
- ➕ Increased beacon range up to 256 blocks
- ➕ Multiple potion effects per beacon
- ✖️ No material pyramid required
- 🌍 Supports English and German (players can choose their own language)
- 📝 Config options for messages, GUI text and vanilla friendly experience.
