Maikura Beacon Expansion
by MaikuraKobo
Maikura Beacon Expansion extends the effect range of beacons and adds a set of management tools for building and item handling on Fabric.
What it does
A beacon expansion adds a special beacon enhancement block that raises the effect range of a beacon up to 128 blocks, and an upgraded Beacon Core that raises it up to 256 blocks and adds further beacon functions. Individual beacon effects can be switched on or off from a list-based interface, and the boundary of the area a beacon covers can be displayed in the world, so the coverage can be planned.
The Construction Mode item is the main tool for building projects: while it is active, building blocks can be removed quickly, placement reach is increased, and a configurable magnet pulls nearby dropped items toward the player. Protection for containers, ore and other blocks is optional and can be set to a configurable range. Settings are adjusted in game, so no configuration file has to be edited. Fabric API is required.
Key features
Extended beacon range
The enhancement block extends a beacon's effect range to 128 blocks, and the upgraded Beacon Core extends it to 256 blocks.
Beacon effect toggles
Each beacon effect can be enabled or disabled on its own through a list-based management interface.
Boundary visualization
The area covered by a beacon's effects can be shown in the world to make planning and checking coverage simpler.
Construction Mode item
The Construction Mode item removes building blocks quickly, extends placement reach and suits large building and terraforming projects.
Configurable item magnet
Dropped items within a configurable range are attracted automatically, which helps with building, mining and general collection.
