Better Beacons

Have you ever asked yourself what the point of using better materials than iron or gold in a beacon is? Sure, you may say simply for style points, but what if you could get more? Meet Better Beacons, a datapack which aims to improve the way beacons work.

Hypothetically, lets say you have a Beacon and a mixture of material blocks. This mixture consists of 64 Iron Blocks, 35 Gold Blocks, 45 Emerald Blocks, 15 Diamond Blocks, and 5 Netherite Blocks. You begin building your beacon base with these materials, in no particular order, and finally place your Beacon atop it. You select your effect from the UI and are curious as to the benefits of using these harder to get materials. You type "/trigger radius_check" whilst standing atop the Beacon, getting back an output of 95 blocks, almost double the standard range.

This pack changes Beacons to use a formulaic (for anyone interested in the formula it will be in the comments) approach to it's radius depending on the Beacon's pyramid

From worst to best material: Iron -> Gold -> Emerald -> Diamond -> Netherite
A level 4 Beacon with a pyramid consisting entirely of:
Iron Blocks will be equivalent to that of a standard level 4 Beacon (50 blocks)
Gold Blocks will have a radius of 85 blocks
Emerald Blocks will have a radius of 120 blocks
Diamond Blocks will have a radius of 185 blocks
Netherite Blocks will have a radius of 250 blocks

You will need to break and replace any Beacons currently in your world! Any feedback is much appreciated! :)

Hey there, is this datapack still in maintenance?

Or is it in effective limbo with the changes in 1.19?

If you don’t want to try and fix it anymore, could one at least make the download available so I could take a look at the files for myself? I’d love to be able to fix this and bring it up to 1.19, this is seriously the best concept for buffing Beacons.

Wait, I actually DO think it's dumb that beacon materials have no effect on performance. I would prefer that it had an effect on which effects you could choose from the beacon, but I like the concept. Favorited

how difficult would it be to add a beacon effect that would make breaking blocks really slow and explosions much less impactful?

Works great 👍

Thank you very much !
Take your 💎


EDIT :
I come back to my comment and confirm a big problem of excessive production of markers.


Crash after crash, I finally used the available commands and disabled the datapack.

I don't advise to use this datapack.

Hey, I've just pushed what I am hoping to be a stable release. I still have absolutely no idea what is causing the marker buildup in 1.2.

Hello, Your datapack is verry usefull. The problem is that after a day it create more than 300k "marker" entities which make the server crash (hopefulli with a kill command it can be solved). If you can patch this bug I would be glad to continue using your datapack

Hoping to get some more information in regards to the bug as I can't reproduce it. Would you be able to provide some info as to what you are running (if its Paper/Spigot, or a modded server) as well as to what your Beacon consists of? I'm not sure how over 300k entities could be summoned as there are only ever 5 markers spawned every 2 and a half seconds and then subsequently killed when the operation is completed, meaning there should only ever be 1 marker per beacon at all times, except for a few ticks every two and a half seconds, there it would be 6 markers per beacon, but only extraordinarily briefly

Hey, I’m unfortunately just seeing this message. I’ll see if I can figure out why this is occurring at some point today
