Questions & reference

How many blocks does this plan need?

The selected size and fill use 244 blocks: 3 full stacks and 52 blocks. Transporting them requires 1 Shulker Boxes of 27 stacks.

Where do the beacons go?

Build 4 solid tiers from bottom to top. Open the final Beacon positions step: the stars mark 6 positions above the top tier. Beacon blocks are separate from the 244 base blocks.

Which materials can I use for the base?

Use iron, gold, diamond, emerald or netherite blocks. You can mix them. The 2,196 material items mean nine ingots or gems per block; craft the beacon separately.

What do I need to craft the beacon?

Each beacon requires five glass, three obsidian and one Nether Star. This 6-beacon plan needs 30 glass, 18 obsidian and 6 Nether Star(s). Activating an effect also requires a separate payment in the beacon interface.
