The beacon block is crafted from glass blocks, obsidian and a Nether Star. Place the beacon block atop a pyramid of some combination of iron, gold, diamond and emerald blocks. The pyramid can be 1â4 layers high; youâll need 9 blocks for the top layer, 25 for the second, 49 for the third and 81 for the last. The more layers you build, the larger the area of the beaconâs effects and the more effects you will have access to.
Trivia. 1  As of the Minecraft 1.8 update, the color the light of a beacon can be changed by putting a Stained Glass or Stained Glass Pane over it. 2  The beacon block had, when first created, another texture. 3  Beacons are the only block in Minecraft that emit a beam of light. 4  A beacon can shine its beam through bedrock.
