Better Beacon Range

by Coinflipcoder

Better Beacon Range makes the effect range of a Minecraft beacon configurable, so beacons can reach farther than the vanilla distance.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.4 – 1.21.11

What it does

Beacon effect range is set through a configuration option instead of the fixed vanilla value. Installed on a server, the mod changes how far beacon effects extend for everyone on it, and the default settings keep vanilla values until they are edited. Single player worlds are supported from version 0.4.0.

Key features

  1. Configurable beacon range

    The distance at which a beacon applies its effects can be changed in the mod configuration.

  2. Vanilla defaults

    Out of the box the range matches the vanilla beacon, so nothing changes until a value is set.

  3. Single player support

    Worlds opened in single player use the same range setting from version 0.4.0 onward.
