by 2894638479

Force Beacon Load lets beacons take effect beyond the distance a player normally sees, for Fabric servers that need it.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Beacons in this mod apply their effect even outside the view distance, so a player far from a beacon still receives its benefit. The beacon radius can be raised above its standard size, reaching 50 and 100 blocks at higher levels, with vertical limits set accordingly. The mod works alongside Distant Horizons, and it needs Fabric Language Kotlin to run. Files are published for Fabric on 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Effects beyond view distance

    Beacon effects still apply when the beacon sits outside the rendering distance of the player.

  2. Larger beacon area

    The effective area of a beacon grows, with radius levels of 50 and 100 blocks and matching vertical limits.

  3. Distant Horizons support

    The mod is noted to work well with Distant Horizons, which draws terrain far past the normal view distance.
