Beacon beams cannot go through most blocks, but can go through bedrock to allow beacons to be used in the Nether and end portal frames. The GUI shown when pressing use on the block. Once the beacon is emitting a beam, it can then be fed one iron ingot , gold ingot , emerald , diamond , or netherite ingot to select the status effects given to players within range of the beacon.
This is done through the beacon's GUI, displayed by pressing use while looking at the beacon block. It doesn't matter which of the items is fed into the beacon. In the GUI, the player places the item to be fed in the empty slot and clicks an effect from the "Primary Power" section on the left. If the beacon is sitting on a 4-level pyramid, the "Secondary Power" section on the right also becomes active.
The player can then choose either to turn on the Regeneration power in addition to the Primary Power or to raise the primary power to Level II. The user clicks the "Done" button green checkmark , the item is consumed, and the power s become activated.
To change the beacon's powers, this process must be followed again, consuming another ingot or gem. If the pyramid is broken, effects deactivate or weaken, or the beacon deactivates entirely depending on the level of the pyramid that is no longer complete.
Upon restoration of the pyramid, the originally selected power returns without the need to spend another item. Only one of the two powers appear to be selected, although both effects are active. Every four seconds, the selected powers are applied with a duration of 9 seconds, plus 2 seconds per pyramid level, to all players in range.
Thus, when powers are changed or a player travels outside the area-of-effect, the powers persist for 5—9 seconds, or seconds with a full pyramid. The distance from the player to the beacon block does not affect the intensity of the status effect.
