Upgrade your base with detailed bells and beacons

Placing decorative multiplayer structures

Village bells and beacon pyramids now feature reworked geometry and animated surfaces, making them stand out as focal points in shared bases.

For village bells:

1. Craft or find a bell

2. Place it in a central location in your base or village

3. Ring it by right-clicking to see the detailed shape and animated swing

4. The bell's new geometry is most visible from a distance

For beacons:

1. Build a pyramid foundation using iron, diamond, gold, or emerald blocks

2. Place the beacon on top

3. Add a power source (lapis, redstone, diamond, or emerald) to activate effects

4. Observe the glowing beacon's updated geometry and animated surface details

Design tip

These blocks work best as landmarks in large multiplayer bases. The enhanced visuals help players navigate and identify key structures at a glance, especially in PvP arenas where quick orientation matters.
