Features

Dynamic beacon range depending on pyramid blocks
More expensive blocks = higher range
Mix and match block types to get the most out of your beacon
Beacon effects can also be applied to mobs! (configurable)
Applies to tamed pets by default (horses, dogs, etc.)
Tinted glass above an active beacon will hide the beam
Completely configurable!

Notes

Beacons will only give effects to players if the beacon is in a loaded chunk. Configuring the plugin for higher ranges, or running it on a server with a smaller view distance, means that extra range may get cut off.
