Beacon Range

by KCLucas

Beacon Range is a Fabric client mod that draws colored boxes around beacons so players can see how far each one reaches.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each beacon is outlined with a transparent bounding box whose color matches its pyramid level: blue for level 1 with a 20 block range, green for level 2 at 30 blocks, yellow for level 3 at 40 blocks and red for level 4 at 50 blocks. Looking at an active beacon shows its effective range at once, and several beacons can be marked together so their overlapping areas are visible.

The mod is a client-side utility, so only the player who installs it sees the overlays. Servers run without it, and no server-side files are needed. It depends on Fabric API and is released under the MIT License, so the source is available as open source. The latest Fabric file, 1.0.2, targets 1.21.11, and builds are published for the full run of game versions from the 1.21 series onward.

Key features

  1. Range boxes

    Transparent colored boxes show the area each beacon affects, drawn over the world around it.

  2. Level-based colors

    Boxes change color with the pyramid level, so the tier of a beacon can be read from a distance.

  3. Effective range at a glance

    Looking at an active beacon displays its effective range without needing to measure the distance by hand.

  4. Overlapping coverage

    Many beacons can be shown together, which helps builders check that overlapping areas reach the whole base.

Base coverage planning

Builders can place beacons so their boxes overlap and leave no unlit corner of a base.

Checking existing beacons

Players can confirm the reach of beacons built earlier without rebuilding them.

Who it’s for: Players who build beacon networks in single-player or on servers, and builders who need to plan effect coverage before placing blocks.

Questions

Does Beacon Range need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed with Beacon Range on Fabric.

Does a server need Beacon Range installed?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which game versions does Beacon Range support?

Files are published for 1.21.1 and later releases, with 1.0.2 as the latest Fabric build for 1.21.11.
