### Stops a beacon beam from rendering though clear glass in its path. Configurable.<\/p>\n

Works client-side and in single player.<\/p>\n

Beacon beams won’t render above clear glass or glass panes in their path.<\/p>\n

They’ll begin rendering again when they encounter another transparent colored block in their path.<\/p>\n

All changes are purely visual, this mod doesn’t allow beacon beams to go through blocks they usually couldn’t go
\nthrough (full, non-transparent blocks).<\/p>\n

\nConfiguration<\/summary>\n

Supports Cloth Config and
\nMod Menu for configuration, but neither is required.<\/p>\n

Options will use their default values if Cloth Config is absent.<\/p>\n

If Cloth Config is present, options can be configured either through
\nMod Menu or by editing `config\/discontinuous_beacon_beams.json` in your
\ninstance folder (`.minecraft\/` by default for the vanilla launcher).<\/p>\n

– Blocks that hide beacon beams; default `”minecraft:glass”, “minecraft:glass_pane”`<\/p>\n

– Hiding blocks toggle beams; default `true`
\n > If an invisible beam passes through a block that hides beams, the beam becomes visible again.<\/p>\n

– Remember color when hiding blocks enable beams; default `true`
\n > When a block that hides beams makes a beam visible again, remember the beam color from before it became invisible.<\/p>\n

– Stained blocks enable beams; default `true`
\n > If an invisible beam passes through a block that changes beams’ colors, the beam becomes visible again.<\/p>\n

– Remember color when stained blocks enable beams; default `true`
\n > When a block that changes beams’ colors makes a beam visible again, remember the beam color from before it became
\n invisible.<\/p>\n

– Enable beacon beams; default `true`
\n > Enable or completely disable beacon beams.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
