Discontinuous Beacon Beams Mod FAQ

Place clear glass or glass panes directly in the beacon beam's path. The beam will render up to the glass block and then disappear until it hits a transparent colored block like stained glass.

This mod is client-side only, so it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers without requiring the server to have it installed. Other players will see normal beacon beams unless they also have the mod.

Yes—build a structure with clear glass blocking the beam's path, then place stained glass or other transparent colored blocks where you want the beam to resume rendering.

Only clear glass and glass panes interrupt beacon beams with this mod. Transparent colored blocks like stained glass, tinted glass, and similar transparent variants do not stop the beam.

Yes—surround the beacon beam with clear glass or glass panes to make it invisible from outside. The beam will only render again if it passes through transparent colored blocks.

This mod only changes how the beam renders visually. Beacon effects like Speed and Haste work normally regardless of whether the beam is visible.

The mod includes configurable settings that allow you to customize its behavior, though the default targets clear glass and glass panes specifically.

Make sure you're not accidentally placing clear glass in the beam's path if you don't want it to stop. Check that colored glass blocks are placed where you want the beam to resume.

This mod should work alongside most mods since it only affects beacon beam rendering on the client side, but conflicts are possible with mods that heavily modify beacon mechanics.

Layer clear glass and transparent colored glass blocks vertically in the beacon beam's path—the beam will disappear at clear glass and reappear at colored glass, creating a striped effect.
