Description

BetterBeacon

Make your beacon reach farther by building a taller pyramid.

Vanilla beacons stop gaining range at four pyramid layers. BetterBeacon removes that cap: each additional complete layer increases the effect radius by 10 blocks.

Effect Range

Pyramid layers Effect radius
1 20 blocks
2 30 blocks
3 40 blocks
4 50 blocks
5 60 blocks
6 70 blocks

The mod has no fixed layer limit. It is limited only by the world's height: the pyramid is checked down to the world's minimum build height.

Vanilla Beacon Behavior

  • Works exactly like vanilla up to 4 layers.
  • Each layer must be a complete square of valid beacon base blocks (layer 5 is 11×11, layer 6 is 13×13, and so on).
  • Beacon beams, effect selection, and effect application follow vanilla rules.
  • No new blocks, menus, or configuration are added.

Compatibility

Requires NeoForge 1.21.1. Server-side only.
