How to Make a Beacon Work in Minecraft

Ever wondered how to light up your Minecraft world with a beacon? Let’s dive right into how to make a beacon in Minecraft work!

So, you’ve got your hands on a beacon in Minecraft, but what next? How do you make it light up the sky and give you those sweet powers? Let’s get into it!

Lighting Up Your World: Making a Beacon Work

To make a beacon work in Minecraft, first, you need a beacon (obviously)! You can get one by defeating the Wither and crafting it with glass, obsidian, and a Nether star. Next up, you need a pyramid base made from iron, gold, diamond, emerald, or netherite blocks. The bigger the pyramid (up to 4 levels), the more powers you unlock.

Once you have your pyramid base ready, place your beacon on top. Open the beacon’s menu by right-clicking on it (or tapping if you’re on mobile). Here, you can choose your desired primary power by feeding the beacon an ingot (iron, gold, or emerald) or a diamond. Don’t forget to activate it by clicking the checkmark! Now, your beacon will start shining its light into the sky and grant you the chosen power within its range.
