BeamPass

by Emafire003

BeamPass lets a beacon's light beam pass through certain solid blocks, such as the lodestone, so the beam keeps going past them.

FabricQuiltClient or server, optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19 – 1.21.5

What it does

Normally a beacon beam stops at any solid block above it. With BeamPass installed on the server, beams can continue through selected blocks, and the lodestone is one example the author uses for this behavior. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for game versions 1.19 – 1.21.5, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source. Fabric API is required, and fabric-permissions-api is optional. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it can be placed on a client, a server or both.

Key features

  1. Beam passes solid blocks

    Selected solid blocks, including the lodestone, no longer stop a beacon beam from reaching higher.

  2. Command permissions

    Commands under beampass.commands, such as beampass.commands.add, control which blocks are allowed.

  3. Server-side effect

    Only the server needs the mod for the beam change to apply, so players see the altered beam without installing anything.

What the author says

With this mod, the beacon beam will be able to pass through some blocks even if they are solid. For example, the Lodestone, because I thought that having a lodestone compass pointing to a beacon would be useful and cool. You could still do it by place it under it I guess... well whatever here we are! The permissions…
