Extend range of a Beacon

Hi guys,

Is there a way to extend the range of a becon? The default range of 101 blocks is to small for me…

Thank you!

Build more beacons :stuck_out_tongue:

Another common trick used by LetsPlayers is to move the beacons as you work.

But the only way you are going to be able to emulate this given the current API, is to search for the beacons on chunk load, and give the currently selected effects to all players on a schedule.

The way to do this outside the API would be to mixin to the vanilla beacon, and extend it’s range.

Haha yepp that’s a solution :slight_smile: but in survival it is a little bit hard to get a becon.

I will test the Chunkload solution, thanks! :wink:

Yeah, you will also probably need to listen for whatever change event fires when someone adjusts the beacon options.
