Potion Beacons
Adds a Beacon block you can use with any Potion Effects
About this Mod
PotionBeacons
Description
Potion Beacon lets you combine a beacon with any lingering potion to create a custom area-of-effect beacon! Instead of being stuck with vanilla effects, you can use any lingering potionᶜ — from Fire Resistance and Night Vision to modded potion effects — and broadcast it over a wide area.
🛠 Crafting & Use
Recipe
1 Beacon + 1 Cauldron
(shapeless recipe)
Place it like a normal beacon — on top of a full pyramid (level 4)ᶜ — and right-click it with a lingering potionᶜ to charge it.
✨ Features
- Accepts any lingering potionᶜ (vanilla or modded)
- Right-click to infuse or swap potion effects
- Effect lasts 100 minutes per potion
- Supports custom potion effects from other mods
- Multiplayer-compatible
- Beacon beam uses color of the current effectᶜ
📌 Notes
- Only lingering potions are accepted (for balance)ᶜ.
- Effects do not stack — applying a new potion overrides the old one (but you can extend effects using the same potion up to 3 times).
- Beacon must be powered (full pyramid)ᶜ for the effect to work.
- Things marked with a ᶜ can be configured in the mods config.
