Beacon Structure (2 layer pyramid) in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to build a (2 layer pyramid) beacon structure with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, you can give players either Speed, Haste, Resistance or Jump Boost for 12 seconds using a beacon in a 2-tier pyramid structure. Let's explore how to do this.

Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to make a 2 layer pyramid beacon structure:

34 Blocks of Diamond

34 Blocks of Emerald

34 Blocks of Gold

34 Blocks of Iron

TIP: You don't need to gather all of the blocks. You need 34 of the mineral blocks and 1 beacon to build the structure. Then you need 1 iron ingot, gold ingot, diamond or emerald to activate the beacon.

Steps to make a Beacon Structure (2 layer pyramid)

1. Place 25 Blocks as the First Layer of the Pyramid

First, place 25 blocks of iron, gold, diamond or emerald in a 5x5 structure to create the first layer of the pyramid. In this tutorial, we will use 25 iron blocks.

TIP: If you don't have 25 of one type of block, no worries, you can mix and match. For example, you could use 20 iron blocks and 5 gold blocks to build the 5x5 layer.

2. Place 9 Blocks as the Second Layer of the Pyramid

Now, place 9 blocks of iron, gold, diamond or emerald in a 3x3 structure to create the second layer of the pyramid. In this tutorial, we will use 9 iron blocks.

You should see a vertical beam of light appear that goes up into the sky (creates a light source that is light level 15).

4. Open the Beacon Menu

Next, open the Beacon menu. You should see 4 options for a 2 layer pyramid - Speed, Haste, Resistance or Jump Boost.

5. Configure the Beacon

Add 1 emerald, diamond, gold ingot or iron ingot into the empty box and then choose a status effect (either Speed, Haste, Resistance or Jump Boost). We will select Jump Boost.

Click on the green checkmark button when you are done configuring the beacon.

6. Beacon will give Status Effect

Now all nearby players will be given Jump Boost. The Jump Boost status effect will start at 12 seconds, tick down and then reset back to 12 seconds again. So players that stay within the range of the beacon will receive the Jump Boost status effect continuously.

Congratulations, you just learned how to use a beacon to build a 2-tier pyramid structure that gives all nearby players a status effect (Speed, Haste, Resistance or Jump Boost) for 12 seconds in Minecraft!
