About this Mod

Beacon Bounding Box

Take the guesswork out of beacon coverage.

Beacon Bounding Box is a lightweight utility mod that visually displays the area of effect of every beacon in the world using colorful bounding boxes. Each beacon is given a randomly assigned color, making it easy to distinguish between multiple beacons. Even when their ranges overlap.

Key Features

  • Visual range display: See each beacon’s area of effect as a 3D bounding box.

  • Random colors: Every beacon gets a unique, randomly generated color.

  • Toggle support: Easily toggle the bounding box rendering on or off via a keybind (default G).

  • Conduit support: Now also renders a sphere to show the area of effect of conduits! Default toggle key is H.

  • Configurable height: Customize the vertical size of the beacon box in-game using Mod Menu and Cloth Config, or the JSON file in config/beaconrange.json.

  • NEW! Beacon Extender Compat: Added Compatibility for Beacon Extender in Mod Version 1.1 (Only for Minecraft 1.21.4)

  • NEW! Box Mode: Added Box Mode, you can switch between Outlines and Boxes in Config. Added in Mod Version 1.2

Whether you're building a mega base, organizing effects, or just want a better visual reference, Beacon Bounding Box helps you manage beacon and conduit coverage with clarity.

Planned Features:

  • Make the opacity of box mode's walls configurable.
  • Box mode shader support (unlikely).
  • Ability to place a "ghost beacon" to test how far it's range expands before even placing the beacon itself.
