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.
