What does it do?

This this a simple Datapack which is extending the range and effect time of the beacon.
for it to work with already existing beacons, the beacon block GUI must be opened or the block replaced.

Features:

• Multiplayer capable

• Upgradable

  • Range
  • Effect strength

• Beacons are chunkloaded to overcome simulation distance.

  • Can be Toggle via the options.

• Option menu [ /function k_bb:options/menu ]

  ↳[Main Page]

  • Toggle Chunk Loading
  • Toggle Range Ups
  • Toggle Effect Ups
  • Toggle Beacon Billboards
  • Toggle Effect Invincibility
  • Vehicel Effects

  ↳[Range Options]

  • Added Range per Nether Star
  • Default Range Option

  ↳[Upgrade Options]

  • Max numbers of upgrades

  ↳[Effect Upgrade Options]

  • Max numbers of effect upgrades

New standard range and effect time:

| Beacon Level | Range | Effect time |
|-|-|-|
| 1 | 20 → 32 | 11 → 15sec |
| 2 | 30 → 64 | 13 → 30sec |
| 3 | 40 → 96 | 15 → 45sec |
| 4 | 50 → 128 | 17 → 60sec |

Upgrades:

¹ Max Range is calculated with the default Added Range per Nether Star
| Beacon Level | Range ups | Max Range¹ | Effect ups |
|-|-|-|-|
| 1 | 4 | 64 | 0 |
| 2 | 24 | 256 | 2 |
| 3 | 44 | 448 | 3 |
| 4 | 64 | 640 | 4 |

How to upgrade the beacon:

To upgrade your beacons range you need to throw a single nether star on the beacon, it will consume it and increase the range.
To upgrade the effect strength the beacon needs at least 10 range ups and then you need to throw a diamond onto it. The beacon will lose 10 range but gains 1 effect strength.
Using an amethyst shard or braking the beacon, it will give you all used nether stars back.

How does it work?

After installing it in your world all should be ready to go.
Now after you place a new beacon or open up the GUI of an existing one, the range and time will be extended.
"for it to work with already existing beacons, the beacon block GUI must be opened or the block replaced."

Like the vanilla beacon, the beacon will not work if its out of the simulation distance.

The new range is NOT squared like the normal beacon, it's now a round radius around the beacon.
The old beacon range is still active inside the new radius.

since version 1.4.2 the range is squared like vanilla beacon

Note for content creators:

I'm interested in seeing people playing and/or giving feedback on my Datapacks. So if you are creating a video of any kind with or about my datapacks, I would be really happy to get notified on my discord about it, so I can see your feedback.
Also if you allow me to, I would put it on the Modrinth page, so others can see a first impression.
This is not necessary, you don't have to!
