Beacon Enhancement
Beacon Enhancement is a Forge auxiliary mod for the Survivor's Diary modpack that adds delayed text and command tools and extends the Beacon block.
What it does
Beacon Enhancement was written as an auxiliary mod for the Survivor's Diary modpack, and it can be installed on its own when only the Beacon feature is wanted. It adds a set of commands: a delayed text command that shows a message after a number of seconds, and a delayed command executor that runs a valid Minecraft command after a chosen delay. The delay is given in seconds and cannot be set below 0.1.
The author notes that the last two commands use client-side rendering, which can cause some issues the developer intends to fix. The delay function is supported by the task display command as well.
Beacon Enhancement is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with a single file, 1.0.0, dated 2026-01-06. It is not open source and is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it may be installed on a client, a server or both.
Key features
Delayed text command
Shows a chosen message after a set number of seconds, with the delay having a minimum of 0.1.
Delayed command executor
Runs a valid Minecraft command once the delay has passed, such as switching a player to creative mode.
Persistent task display
Keeps a line of text permanently shown on the left side of the screen until it is switched off.
Beacon hostile mob clearing
An activated Beacon removes hostile mobs within a square block of chunks centered on itself by default, and the function turns off when a Villager enters that area.
