THIS IS A FORGE CLIENT-SIDE MOD!!!

 

This mod brings back the beacon from the 1.4.2 snapshot 12w36a.

 

This mod also adds different effects that can be applied to the beacon by placing a block next to it:

 

 - Glass | Shows the effect checking area Must be placed on top of the beacon (Removed in 1.18.1)

 - Command Block | Debug Offset

 - Purpur Block | Fading effect

 - Quartz Block | Spinning beam

 - Obsidian | Rainbow color

 - Redstone Block | Remove a beam

 - Slime Block | Add a beam

 - Observer | Add texture

 - Sea Lantern | Makes the beacon beam spin

 - Prismarine | Makes the beam more opaque

 - Lapis Block | offsets the beam by 1 on the x and z axis

 - Coal Block | offsets the beam by -1 on the x and z axis

 - End Stone | Magic effect | Only in 1.15.2 and 1.16.1 | V 1.1

 - Waxed Copper Block | LASER Effect (Added in 1.18.1)
