Better Beacon Range
Expand vanilla beacons by dynamically adjusting the range depending on what blocks the pyramid is composed of. Tamed pets inside the range will also have effects applied.
Better Beacon Range
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
- extra range may get cut off. 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.
