Beaconated
Beaconated is a Fabric and Quilt technology mod that builds machinery around beacons, with a new alloy and Vibranium Illuminators.
What it does
Beaconated centers on beacon-based machinery. Vibranium is crafted from four Netherite Ingots and four Golden Ingots, using the crafting recipes of the mod's own machines. Vibranium Bulbs can power machines and give off light, and placing one below a machinery item activates it.
The Vibranium Illuminators are machines that behave like a beacon and grant effects to players inside their radius once powered. A powered Illuminator starts glowing and creates end rod particles within its radius. Players inside the radius are bitten for three seconds, and a new alloy is used to craft machines that defend and give effects.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It depends on Fabric API, Geckolib, Pick Your Poison and Trinkets, and is published for Fabric and Quilt across two game versions, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
