Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to make a 4 layer pyramid beacon structure that gives all 6 status effects:

TIP: You don't need to gather all of the blocks. You need 212 of the mineral blocks and 3 beacons to build the structure. Then you need 3 iron ingot, gold ingot, diamond or emerald to activate the beacon.

Steps to make a Beacon Structure (all 6 status effects)

1. Place 99 Blocks as the First Layer of the Pyramid

First, place 99 blocks of iron, gold, diamond or emerald in a 9x11 structure to create the first layer of the pyramid. In this tutorial, we will use 99 iron blocks.

TIP: If you don't have 99 of one type of block, no worries, you can mix and match. For example, you could use 90 iron blocks and 9 gold blocks to build the 9x11 layer.

2. Place 63 Blocks as the Second Layer of the Pyramid

Now, place 63 blocks of iron, gold, diamond or emerald in a 7x9 structure to create the second layer of the pyramid. In this tutorial, we will use 63 iron blocks.

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

6. Open the Beacon Menu for the first Beacon

Next, open the Beacon menu for the first beacon. You should see 5 options (Speed, Haste, Resistance, Jump Boost, or Strength) as the primary power and Regeneration as the option under secondary power.
