Skybeam Block Revival

by Winstance

Skybeam Block Revival restores the Skybeam Block from an older Legend Gear build, rebuilt for Forge on 1.12.2.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.12.2

What it does

The Skybeam Block emits a celestial beam, the look that players of the older Legend Gear mod remember from its time in the Hexxit modpack. The revival restores the block's appearance and adds modern redstone control and a beam logic suited to current play. The Prismatic XP Orb glow from Legend Gear is recreated too, so orbs keep their original shine.

The beam uses a new Beam Permeability mechanic. It can cross up to two solid blocks before stopping, and it ends only at the third solid obstruction in a row. Two solid blocks separated by air also end it.

The mod is a Magic and Decoration addition for Forge, installed on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for 1.12.2 only, with the 1.12.2-1.0 file dated 2026-01-06, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Nostalgic aesthetics

    The block emits the signature celestial beam that marked the golden age of Minecraft modding for many players.

  2. Redstone control

    The beam can be toggled with a redstone signal, so builders can switch it on and off from machinery.

  3. Beam permeability

    The beam passes through up to two solid blocks and stops only at the third solid obstruction in a row.

  4. Partial block handling

    Slabs and other partial blocks count as transparent, so the beam crosses them regardless of quantity.
