How to Build a Basic Beacon Base Using Copper Blocks

Constructing a beacon base in vanilla Minecraft typically demands a large reserve of iron, gold, or rarer materials. With this mod, you can construct the entire foundation using solid copper blocks instead.

Assembling the 3x3 Copper Base

1. Prepare Solid Copper Blocks: Smelt raw copper into copper ingots and craft them into solid copper blocks at a crafting table.

2. Clear the Build Site: Choose a location that has direct, unobstructed access to the sky above where the beacon will sit. Solid blocks placed directly above the beacon will prevent the light beam from forming.

3. Place the Base Layer: Lay down a flat 3x3 square using 9 solid copper blocks.

4. Place the Beacon: Place the beacon block directly on top of the central copper block.

Once the beacon is placed, it will immediately project its vertical beam into the sky. This confirms that the copper base meets the structural requirements for a tier-one beacon pyramid. From here, you can interact with the beacon interface to configure your active buffs.
