BeaconPowers

Imagine stepping onto your Minecraft server not just with a sword and armor, but with the raw, untamed forces of nature at your command. That is exactly what the BeaconPowers add-on delivers. This plugin redefines what a beacon can do, turning it from a simple status effect block into a handheld weapon of mass creativity. Whether you want to rain fire from the sky, summon a tornado, or trap your foes in a prison of ice, BeaconPowers gives you the tools to become a true elemental master.

What Is BeaconPowers?

BeaconPowers is a feature-rich plugin designed for Minecraft servers running Paper or Spigot. It introduces eight distinct elemental beacons, each with its own set of moves and an earth-shattering ultimate ability. The plugin is perfect for custom SMPs, faction wars, or any server that wants to add a layer of strategic combat beyond vanilla mechanics. Instead of just mining and crafting, players can now hunt for specific beacons, build up their kill streaks, and unleash devastating attacks that can turn the tide of any battle.

The Eight Elemental Beacons

Each beacon in BeaconPowers offers a unique playstyle. You can only hold one beacon at a time, so choose wisely before heading into a fight. Here is a breakdown of all eight types and their abilities:

1. Beacon of Flame

Harness the destructive power of fire. The primary move shoots an explosive fireball that detonates on impact, dealing massive area damage. The secondary move unleashes a continuous blue flame thrower, perfect for close-range combat. Its ultimate move calls down a meteor shower that rains fire from the sky, incinerating everything in its path.

2. Beacon of Sea

Control the tides with this aquatic beacon. The primary move fires a sonic boom that travels through water and air. The secondary move sends a crushing water wave toward enemies. The ultimate move summons a giant whirlpool that pulls in nearby players and deals heavy tick damage while spawning elder guardians to assist you.

3. Beacon of Thunder

Become the storm. The primary move strikes the nearest entity with a lightning bolt that stuns them for five seconds. The secondary move grants you lightning speed for a short duration. The ultimate move creates a thunder domain where constant lightning strikes devastate anyone caught inside.

4. Beacon of Nature

Embrace the wild. The primary move summons two iron golems that fight by your side like loyal wolves. The secondary move calls forth five wolves with strength and resistance buffs. The ultimate move entangles all nearby enemies in vines and plants, stunning them completely while you and your minions attack.

5. Beacon of Wind

Master the skies. The primary move is a wind dash that propels you forward, which can be combined with a mace for devastating aerial attacks. The secondary move pulls players or entities toward you. The ultimate move spawns a massive tornado that sucks in everything around it, dealing continuous damage.

6. Beacon of Shadow

Lurk in darkness. The primary move fires a shadow skull that inflicts weakness, slowness, and blindness on hit. The secondary move creates a black hole that pulls players in before blasting them away. The ultimate move envelops the area in a shadow domain where enemies take damage every second and are stunned.

7. Beacon of Frost

Freeze your opponents solid. The primary move is ice skating, which spawns blue ice blocks beneath you while in the air, allowing you to essentially fly. The secondary move is an ice prison that traps enemies and stuns them. The ultimate move unleashes a snow blizzard domain that freezes and damages all caught inside.

8. Beacon of Illusion

Deceive and destroy. The primary move summons illusion clones that look like you and grants you invisibility. The secondary move is currently under construction, promising even more trickery. The ultimate move creates a domain of sculk blocks that cannot be escaped, summons five helper endermen, and blinds all players trapped within.

How to Use BeaconPowers

Using these beacons is intuitive once you get the hang of it. Each beacon has three moves mapped to simple controls:

• Right-click activates the primary move.
• Left-click triggers the secondary move.
• Shift + right-click unleashes the ultimate move, but only if you meet the requirements.

To unlock the ultimate ability, you generally need a kill streak of five and an upgrader item. The upgrader is obtained via an operator command, making it a valuable reward that server admins can integrate into their economy or quest systems.

Commands and Permissions

Server operators have full control over BeaconPowers with simple commands. To give a player a specific beacon, use:

/beacongive <player> <flame/sea/thunder/wind/nature/shadow/illusion/frost>

To give the upgrader item, use:

/beacongive <player> upgrader

For testing purposes, you can remove all cooldowns and requirements with:

/beaconpowers test

Remember, a player can only hold one beacon in their inventory at a time. If you need to switch beacons, you must first remove the existing one by placing it in a creative menu or clearing your inventory.

Installation and Compatibility

Installing BeaconPowers is straightforward. The plugin is built for Paper and Spigot servers, and it supports Minecraft versions 1.20.x and newer. To get started, simply download BeaconPowers and place the JAR file into your server's plugins folder. Restart the server, and the plugin will generate its configuration files automatically. No complex dependencies are required, making it a hassle-free addition to any modded or vanilla-style server.

If you manage your server through a platform like the foxygame.net launcher, adding BeaconPowers is even simpler. The launcher’s built-in add-on catalog lets you find BeaconPowers instantly and install it with a single click, while also handling updates automatically so you never miss a new feature or compatibility patch.

Why Your Server Needs BeaconPowers

BeaconPowers injects a fresh layer of excitement into Minecraft PvP and cooperative play. Instead of the usual grind, players have a reason to explore, fight mobs, and engage with each other to earn these powerful beacons. The kill streak requirement for ultimates adds a risk-reward dynamic that keeps combat tense. Server owners can also customize how upgraders are distributed, creating unique economies or event rewards. Whether you run a small SMP with friends or a large public network, this plugin offers endless possibilities for fun and competition.

With eight distinct elements, intuitive controls, and easy server integration, BeaconPowers is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their Minecraft experience. Download it today and watch your world transform into an arena of elemental chaos.
