What it does

Copper Beacons lets players build a beacon base out of copper blocks, including the exposed, weathered, oxidized and waxed variants. The beacon accepts copper ingots as its payment item, so players can activate it without iron, gold, emerald or diamond. The mod is a server mod: players join a server that runs it without installing anything, but the server itself has to run it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.19 – 1.19.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Copper beacon base

    Beacon bases can be built from copper blocks in all their weathering stages, including waxed versions.

  2. Copper ingot payment

    A beacon accepts copper ingots as its payment item in place of the usual materials.

  3. Weathering variants

    Exposed, weathered and oxidized copper blocks, plus their waxed forms, all work as beacon base blocks.

Questions

Does Copper Beacons need to be installed on the client?

No. The mod is server required with an optional client, so only the server needs it for the copper beacon features to work.
