Configurable Beacon Range
Configurable Beacon Range lets server owners set the effect range of beacons for each pyramid level, replacing the vanilla fixed distances.
What it does
Beacon range is normally fixed by the game. This mod exposes it as a setting, so each pyramid level of a beacon can reach a distance chosen in the configuration. The default values are 100 m for level 1, 200 m for level 2, 300 m for level 3 and 400 m for level 4, with a maximum of 300, 600, 900 and 1200 m for the same levels.
Because the change is applied on the server, only the server side of a world needs the mod. Players who join a server running it do not have to install anything, and the altered reach is what they experience while standing near a beacon.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single file for 26.2 released on 2026-08-09. Configurable Beacon Range is distributed under All rights reserved, so its code may not be reused.
Key features
Range per pyramid level
Each of the four beacon pyramid levels can be given its own effect range in the configuration file.
Default range values
Levels 1 to 4 start at 100, 200, 300 and 400 metres, matching the stock reach that players expect.
Maximum range caps
Each level has a maximum distance, 300, 600, 900 and 1200 metres, that limits how far the setting can be raised.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long-distance survival bases
A server with large maps can extend beacon reach so that players building far from spawn still receive the effects.
Tighter balance on smaller servers
Lowering the range per level lets an owner keep beacon effects local on a compact world.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change how far beacon effects reach. Players only need the mod if they run a single-player world, where the server side is the same machine.
