More Beacons
by Diamssword
More Beacons gives the vanilla beacon several new variants, each with its own effects, for Forge on 1.16.5.
What it does
The mod keeps the standard beacon and adds a Nether Beacon with a range twice that of a regular beacon, a Phantom Beacon that kills phantoms within a radius set by its level, and a High End beacon crafted from netherite and crying obsidian that deflects projectiles aimed at the player. A Piglin Pacifier effect turns off the aggression of piglins, zombified piglins and hoglins nearby.
Unlike other beacons, the Phantom Beacon needs only pillar beacon base blocks, and each block adds 10 to its effect. A Nether Star Lighter creates white fire, can be placed upside down, applies wither and slowness to entities, and does not burn items. The Phantom Beacon also serves as a light source for the Nether Star Lighter.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.16.5 and is required on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
