Beacons For All (Fabric 1.16.1 - 1.19.2)
Minecraft beacons are powerful end-game blocks that grant status effects like Speed, Haste, or Regeneration to nearby players. But what about your loyal wolf pack, your productive farm animals, or even the hostile mobs lurking in the dark? The Beacons For All (Fabric 1.16.1 - 1.19.2) mod shatters that limitation, letting you extend beacon benefits to any creature you choose. Whether you want to boost your tamed army or create a server-wide buff zone for all living things, this lightweight Fabric add-on puts you in control.
What Does Beacons For All Do?
At its core, Beacons For All (Fabric 1.16.1 - 1.19.2) for Minecraft removes the player-only restriction from beacon effects. Once installed, any active beacon pyramid will also apply its selected status effects to nearby mobs based on your configuration. This opens up a world of possibilities: imagine a village where every Iron Golem permanently has Resistance and Strength, or a stable where your horses gallop with Swiftness. The mod works seamlessly on both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers, and it can even run server-side only, meaning your friends don't need to install it to feel the difference.
Configuration and Creature Control
The true power of this mod lies in its flexible configuration file. You can fine-tune exactly which mobs receive beacon effects, preventing unwanted buffs on enemies or keeping the challenge intact. The settings are divided into two main categories:
- Creature Type – Choose whether beacons affect all tamed creatures, all passive creatures, or absolutely any creature in range. This broad-stroke option is perfect for quick setup.
- Creature List – For precise control, you can specify individual mobs by their entity IDs. Want only wolves and cats to get the buff? Add them to the list. Need to exclude creepers from your "all creatures" setting? The list handles that too.
All standard beacon effects—Speed, Haste, Resistance, Jump Boost, Strength, and Regeneration—are applied to the selected mobs just as they would be to a player. The range remains the same as the beacon's normal area of effect, and the effects refresh as long as the mob stays within the pyramid's reach.

If you're managing a server, only the server needs the mod installed—clients can join without it and still see the effects on mobs. For a smoother experience, many players use the foxygame.net launcher, which includes a built-in add-on catalog where you can find and install Beacons For All (Fabric 1.16.1 - 1.19.2) with a single click, along with automatic version compatibility checks and updates.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loader
This mod is built exclusively for the Fabric mod loader and supports a wide range of Minecraft versions, from the Nether Update (1.16.1) all the way through to The Wild Update (1.19.2). Note that for Minecraft 1.19.3 and beyond, the main project has moved to a separate page, but this version remains actively maintained for 1.19.2 and earlier. The mod is lightweight, server-friendly, and fully compatible with other Fabric mods that don't alter beacon mechanics.
Practical Uses and Server Applications
Server administrators will find Beacons For All (Fabric 1.16.1 - 1.19.2) particularly useful for creating unique gameplay experiences. For example, an adventure map could use beacons to buff custom boss mobs, while a survival server might allow tamed pets to share in the player's beacon effects, making pet-based combat more viable. The mod also respects the beacon's pyramid levels, so a level-4 pyramid can grant powerful secondary effects to all affected creatures.
Because the configuration is server-side, you can change settings on the fly without requiring players to update their clients. This makes it an excellent tool for server events or seasonal changes where you want to temporarily alter mob behavior.
