How to Turn On a Beacon in Minecraft

Ever wondered how to light up your Minecraft world with a beacon? It’s simpler than you might think! In this guide, we’ll dive into the steps you need to follow to turn on a beacon in Minecraft.

So, you want to know how to get that beam of light shooting into the sky from a beacon? You’re in the right place!

Lighting Up Your World: Turning On a Beacon

First, let’s start with what you need. To turn on a beacon in Minecraft, you need a beacon (obviously), and some specific materials to build its base. You can make a beacon shine by creating a pyramid base made of iron, gold, emerald, netherite, or diamond blocks.

The base must be a square and can be 1 to 4 layers high. The more layers you add, the more powers the beacon can grant you. Once you’ve built your pyramid base, simply place your beacon on top. Next, you’ll need to feed the beacon by inserting an ingot (iron, gold, or netherite) or a gem (diamond or emerald) into the beacon’s interface and selecting a power. Voilà! Your beacon lights up, projecting a powerful beam into the sky and granting you cool status effects, like speed or jump boost.
