# \u26a1 BeaconStrike<\/p>\n
> **Turn your Beacon into a weapon. Place an End Crystal on top \u2014 and watch it hunt.**<\/p>\n
BeaconStrike is a Minecraft plugin that transforms the humble Beacon into an automated mob-defense turret. Stack an End Crystal on any Beacon, upgrade it with configurable items, and it will fire a sonic boom beam at every nearby hostile mob \u2014 automatically.<\/p>\n

## \ud83c\udfac How It Works<\/p>\n
1. Place a **Beacon** anywhere in the world
\n2. Put an **End Crystal** on top of it
\n3. Right-click the Beacon to open the **upgrade GUI**
\n4. Upgrade **Damage** and **Range** using configurable items
\n5. Watch your Beacon shred mobs within range \u2014 with particles, sound effects, and a colored beam<\/p>\n
