What Is a Beacon in Minecraft APK

A beacon is a Speacial block in Minecraft that gives you cool powers like speed jump boost and strength. But you need to build it the right way to make it work. In Minecraft APK it works the same like the PC version but its little tricky on mobile so lets break it down easy.

How to Build a Beacon

To make a beacon you need 3 obsidian blocks 5 glass and 1 nether star. The nether star is hard to get because you must beat the Wither boss. Once you have the items craft the beacon at a crafting table.

Making a Beacon Pyramid

A beacon does not work alone. You need to place it on top of a pyramid made with iron gold diamond emerald or netherite blocks.

You can build 1 to 4 layers:

  • 1 layer = small power
  • 4 layers = full power

Use blocks like iron for easy build. Make sure the pyramid is solid and no gaps.

Activating the Beacon

Place the beacon on top and it will light up if built right. Click on the beacon and you will see a menu. You can choose effects like.

  • Speed
  • Jump Boost
  • Strength
  • Resistance
  • Regeneration

Put an iron ingot or other item in the slot to activate the power.
