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.
Beacon. 645 pages on this wiki. The Beacon is an item added in the 1.4 update. Beacon Blocks, when added to the top of a pyramid made of either iron, gold, diamond or emerald blocks, can grant the player potion effects for eight seconds but will last indefinitely if the player remains in range of the beacon. As of Minecraft 1.8 update you can color the light of a Beacon putting Stained Glass or Stained Glass Pane over it.Also, you can mix the colors (for example, if a red stained glass is placed over it, and then a blue one over that, the light will have a purplish color).
