Change the distance and duration of beacon effects.
About this Mod
Requires YetAnotherConfigLib
Overview:
The Configurable Beacons Mod is designed to enhance the gameplay experience by introducing the ability for users to customize the range of beacon effects through a configurable interface.
Key Features:
Customizable Beacon Radius: This mod allows you to adjust the range of beacon effects according to their preferences. This can be achieved with a user friendly ModMenu Config screen, which allows you to edit the config in-game on the fly.
Granular Control: You have the freedom to change the radius of individual beacon levels (level 1, 2, 3, 4).
Beacon force loader: Ordinarily, a beacon would stop ticking if it went out of your Render Distance. However, this mod implements a force loader that keeps the beacon loaded, no matter where you are.
Note: The force loader is disabled by default, you have to enable it in the config screen.
How to Use:
To utilize the Configurable Beacons Mod, you simply need to drop the mod into your mods folder and launch the game. Once in-game, you can access the configuration menu using ModMenu, where you can adjust the radius of beacon effects to your liking. Changes made in the configuration menu are applied immediately.
You can also directly edit the ConfigurableBeaconConfig.json file in the "Config" folder.
