Beacon Effect extractor
by PLvip
Beacon Effect Extractor lets a player pull an active potion effect out of themselves and store it as a craftable item, then insert that item into a beacon.
What it does
Players activate a special item to take a status effect they currently have and keep it in the item, which removes the effect from the player. Once an extracted effect is placed into a beacon, the beacon emits that exact effect to nearby players, so an effect that would normally run out can be made to last. Because the effect can be stored, it is no longer limited to the duration it had when it was first gained.
The mod is craftable and adds the item itself, so it works in survival, technical and modded server worlds without any command. Beacon Effect Extractor runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
