Beacon Pyramid

Pick a pyramid level and see exactly what the base costs — in mineral blocks and in raw ingots — before you start smelting.

Mineral blocks needed
  • Ingots / gems if crafting blocks
  • Stacks of blocks to carry
  • Layer breakdown
  • Effect range

Works with iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite blocks — mix and match freely.

How it works: each layer is a square of side 2n+1, so a full level-4 pyramid is 9² + 7² + 5² + 3² = 164 blocks. A 6-beacon pyramid widens each layer to keep every beacon powered. Level 4 unlocks secondary powers like Regeneration and stronger Haste/Speed.
