The Beacon Pyramid is arguably the most costly structure in all of Minecraft. It requires a Nether Star, three Obsidian, five Glass (in for the form of a Beacon) and a minimum of nine Blocks of Iron/Blocks of Gold/Blocks of Emerald/Blocks of Diamond/Blocks of Netherite. This, however, has a very helpful effect: It will give all players status boosts if they come within its range, which depends on the pyramid's size.
Types
Beacons require a square number of the aforementioned blocks, the largest amount being 81. Here is a table to understand this:
| Number of Blocks | Total Blocks | Range of Boost in Blocks | New Boosts Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 (3x3) | 9 | 20 | Speed, Haste |
| 25 (5x5) | 34 | 30 | Jump Boost, Resistance |
| 49 (7x7) | 83 (1x64 + 19) | 40 | Strength |
| 81 (9x9) | 164 (2x64 + 36) | 50 | Regeneration II |
