Datapacks

Beacon materials and effects can be added/modified using datapacks. The example json below creates a beacon using wool and/or clay with two tiers of effects:

• Tier 1: Blindness and Nausea
• Tier 2: Regeneration III

(/data/[namespace]/beacon/wool_clay.json)

{
  "bases": [
    "#minecraft:wool",
    "minecraft:clay"
  ],
  "powers": [
    [
      {
        "effect": "minecraft:blindness",
        "duration": 11,
        "amplifier": 0,
        "range": 10
      },
      {
        "effect": "minecraft:nausea",
        "duration": 11,
        "amplifier": 0,
        "range": 30
      }
    ],
    [
      {
        "effect": "minecraft:regeneration",
        "duration": 17,
        "amplifier": 3,
        "range": 30
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Bases are defined as a list of block tags or block ids. Powers are a list, with each index corresponding to a tier. Each tier contains a list of effects. As shown in the first tier, multiple effects can be assigned to a single tier. Note that each tier is independent of the others, and different effects and ranges can be applied for each tier.
