Break Beacons Without Wasting Time

Mining Beacons Efficiently

Beacons are expensive to craft and valuable to relocate, but breaking them by hand is slow. This mod allows pickaxes to break beacons at a practical speed, making it feasible to move beacon structures between builds.

How to Remove a Beacon

1. Equip any pickaxe from your inventory

2. Left-click the beacon block to break it

3. Pick up the beacon when it drops

The beacon will drop as an item regardless of whether it's powered by a pyramid or standalone.

When This Helps Most

Use this feature when:

  • Relocating a beacon to a new base or structure
  • Deconstructing old beacon setups
  • Clearing beacons from abandoned builds
  • Testing beacon placement without committing to a permanent location

Since beacons are crafted from expensive materials like nether stars, being able to quickly recover them from old projects makes resource management easier and encourages experimentation with beacon placement.
