\n# Material Beacons<\/p>\n
Changes how beacons work depending on the material used.
\nInstead of beacons being built out of any valid material and then selecting an effect,
\nthe material used to build the beacon determines the effect.<\/p>\n
Based on the concept of
\nHardcore Beacons
\nfrom the
\nBetter Than Wolves
\nmod.<\/p>\n

## Datapacks
\nBeacon materials and effects can be added\/modified using datapacks.
\nThe example json below creates a beacon using wool and\/or clay with two tiers of effects:
\n– Tier 1: Blindness and Nausea
\n– Tier 2: Regeneration III<\/p>\n
(`\/data\/[namespace]\/beacon\/wool_clay.json`)

Bases are defined as a list of block tags or block ids. Powers are a list, with each index corresponding to a tier.
\nEach tier contains a list of effects. As shown in the first tier, multiple effects can be assigned to a single tier.
\nNote that each tier is independent of the others, and different effects and ranges can be applied for each tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
