The Quick Answer to Using a Beacon
First things first, to use a beacon in Minecraft, you need to create a pyramid base made from iron, emerald, gold, or diamond blocks. This base can range from one layer for the most basic beacon to a four-layer pyramid for the full effect. Once your pyramid is ready, place your beacon on top!
After setting up your pyramid and placing the beacon, it’s time to bring it to life. Just feed the beacon with an ingot (iron, gold, or emerald) and select your desired primary power. These powers can significantly aid your adventures, from faster mining to better resistance against attacks.
