Last updated
Ever wondered how to build a beacon in the adventurous world of Minecraft? Today, you’re in luck because we’re diving into the steps to create this powerful item!
So, how do you go about constructing a beacon in Minecraft? Let’s get straight to the point and find out.
Building Your Very Own Beacon in Minecraft
First things first, to make a beacon shine, you need a beacon (obviously!), which means you must defeat the Wither boss to get a Nether star. Combine this star with glass and obsidian on a crafting table, and voila, you’ve got yourself a beacon.
But wait, there’s more! A beacon on its own won’t do much. To activate its powers, you need to build a pyramid base made of iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks. The bigger your pyramid (up to 4 levels), the more powerful your beacon becomes, offering various effects like speed boosts or jump strength.
