⭐ Range Bonuses Each pyramid material adds a bonus to the beacon’s effect radius:

Iron — +0

Gold — +5

Emerald — +10

Diamond — +15

Netherite — +25

These bonuses stack on top of the vanilla beacon range.


⚠️ Important: Lowest‑Tier Rule Your beacon’s bonus is determined by the lowest‑tier block anywhere in the pyramid.

That means:

A diamond pyramid with one iron block → Iron bonus (0)

A full iron pyramid with a netherite top → Iron bonus (0)

To get the netherite bonus, every block in the pyramid must be netherite or better

This encourages players to build true high‑tier pyramids instead of mixing materials.


📏 Square Range (Infinite Height) BeaconPlus uses a square‑shaped range instead of a circle. Effects apply to any player within a square centered on the beacon — no vertical limit.

This makes beacon coverage feel more consistent for:

Towers

Bases

Farms

Vertical builds

Multi‑floor structures


🧱 Fully Server‑Optimized BeaconPlus is designed with servers in mind:

Efficient caching

No laggy scans

No client‑side code

Works seamlessly with Fabric servers


🔧 Compatibility Fabric Loader

Minecraft 1.21.1x

Works alongside most beacon‑related mods
