Universal Beacons
I don't know my version or loader
Lightweight and hidden datapack that practically recreates the beacon's exact system, but able to apply effects to any group of mobs with custom duration(s), range(s), frequency, particle visibility, block obstruction, etc.

Additionally lets more copper blocks be used as the base, and this datapack only creates a single scoreboard, with no visible advancements or random messages.
Type /function blue:be/help for a full list of settings, alongside their information.
Github is owned by the original requestor of this project, with older information being found there.
Feel free to use this datapack wherever you want, preferably with credit.
