Copper Block Beacon Base Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Can I use copper blocks instead of iron for my beacon pyramid?
Yes, that's the main feature of this mod. You can build beacon pyramids using any solid copper block variant, including copper blocks in their various oxidation states.
Do I need to use only copper blocks or can I mix them with iron/gold/diamond?
You can mix copper blocks with traditional beacon materials like iron, gold, diamond, and netherite in the same pyramid. The beacon will work as long as the pyramid structure is valid.
How do I power a beacon with copper ingots?
Place copper ingots into the beacon's menu just like you would with iron, gold, diamond, or netherite ingots. The beacon will activate and grant you the selected status effects.
What copper block variants work in the pyramid?
All solid copper block forms work, including unoxidized, exposed, weathered, and oxidized copper blocks. You can use them at any oxidation stage in your pyramid.
Do copper blocks need to be in a specific pattern or layer?
No, copper blocks follow the same pyramid rules as other beacon materials. You can place them anywhere within the valid pyramid structure.
Can I use copper blocks on the top layer of the pyramid?
Yes, copper blocks work on any layer of the beacon pyramid, including the single block at the top.
Does this mod affect copper mining or smelting?
No, this mod only changes how copper blocks and ingots interact with beacons. Mining and smelting copper works the same as in vanilla Minecraft.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This mod makes a small change to beacon mechanics and shouldn't cause performance problems. If you experience issues, check for mod conflicts with other beacon-related mods.
Does this mod work with other mods that add beacon features?
Compatibility depends on how those mods modify beacons. If another mod also changes beacon materials or behavior, there may be conflicts. Test with your mod combination to be sure.
Can I use copper ingots and iron ingots in the same beacon?
Yes, you can mix copper ingots with any other beacon fuel type in the beacon menu to activate different power combinations.
