How To Use A Beacon! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.63]

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20.2!
In this tutorial, we focus on the Beacon, a block which can give the player six different powerful status effects, including Haste!

First, we look at the individual beacon tiers and the effects that unlock with each one. We explore how the beacon's effective range grows with each additional tier, and discuss how the various status effects can be obtained in other ways... except for the unique Haste effect, which increases the player's mining speed!

With Haste and an Efficiency V pickaxe, we can instantly break blocks which took a small but significant time to break before. The Haste II effect from a tier 4 beacon allows us to insta-mine the natural stone that makes up most of the overworld, making it easy to gather stone and cobblestone in vast quantities.

After that we take the beacon to a Badlands biome to insta-mine terracotta with Haste I, we look at how to activate a beacon within the Nether cavern to insta-mine Basalt and Blackstone, and we discuss how the improvement to mining speed can help with resources which can't be mined instantly, like Obsidian in the End dimension.

Along the way we also look at how stained glass can change the colour of a beacon beam, which materials can be used to activate the beacon and form the beacon base, and why gold is possibly the most player-friendly material to form the pyramid of a beacon!
