Kaths Beacon Extended

by Kathezel · on Modrinth

Extending the range, effect strength and effect time of the beacon. Upgrade the beacon for more range and effect strength.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.21.7–1.21.11⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.6⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.4⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.20.6⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.4
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

What does it do?

This this a simple Datapack which is extending the range and effect time of the beacon.
for it to work with already existing beacons, the beacon block GUI must be opened or the block replaced.

Features:

New standard range and effect time:

Beacon Level Range Effect time
1 20 → 32 11 → 15sec
2 30 → 64 13 → 30sec
3 40 → 96 15 → 45sec
4 50 → 128 17 → 60sec

Upgrades:

¹ Max Range is calculated with the default Added Range per Nether Star

Beacon Level Range ups Max Range¹ Effect ups
1 4 64 0
2 24 256 2
3 44 448 3
4 64 640 4

How to upgrade the beacon:

To upgrade your beacons range you need to throw a single nether star on the beacon, it will consume it and increase the range.
To upgrade the effect strength the beacon needs at least 10 range ups and then you need to throw a diamond onto it. The beacon will lose 10 range but gains 1 effect strength.
Using an amethyst shard or braking the beacon, it will give you all used nether stars back.

How does it work?

After installing it in your world all should be ready to go.
Now after you place a new beacon or open up the GUI of an existing one, the range and time will be extended.
"for it to work with already existing beacons, the beacon block GUI must be opened or the block replaced."

Like the vanilla beacon, the beacon will not work if its out of the simulation distance.

The new range is NOT squared like the normal beacon, it's now a round radius around the beacon.
The old beacon range is still active inside the new radius.

since version 1.4.2 the range is squared like vanilla beacon

Note for content creators:

I'm interested in seeing people playing and/or giving feedback on my Datapacks. So if you are creating a video of any kind with or about my datapacks, I would be really happy to get notified on my discord about it, so I can see your feedback. Also if you allow me to, I would put it on the Modrinth page, so others can see a first impression. This is not necessary, you don't have to!
