#minecraft beacon

Oh wow, that's beautiful. I really freaking looove this idea, my lord!

Sorry I missed last week, was busy.

THIS week, I’m talking about the Wither!

let’s hop into it

What led me down this rabbit hole is the wither roses. For those that don’t know, the wither rose is an item that drops when a mob is killed by the Wither. It’s hard to tell if this is the mob itself being turned into a flower, or something else entirely, but either way, some form of infection is happening. This is not all too surprising, as zombies, another undead mob, are capable of infecting villagers, so infection may be a common trait in undead mobs.

But that got me thinking, do we see the Wither infecting anything else in the game?

Then I realized

The Beacon. Let me explain.

The Beacon is a late-game item that can be crafted with a nether star, the only item dropped by the Wither. You may be asking, “How can the Beacon infect me if it makes me stronger and faster?”

But what is the whole point of infection? To make the player similar to the Wither, which is exactly what the Beacon does. Think about the Buffs:

Speed: when the Wither needs to get to a mob to kill it, it rapidly zooms towards it

Haste: the Wither is capable of instantly breaking blocks

Resistance: the Wither is one of the strongest mobs in the game

Jump Boost: the Wither can fly

Strength: depending on the difficulty and attacks, the Wither is can do high amounts of damage to the player

Retrieve An Incredible Number of Beacons by Obliterating Withers

I will go to Industry Kingdom with a bunch of books and emeralds so I can buy Smite 5, Looting 3, Blast Protection 4, diamond armor, and a diamond sword.

I also need a crap ton of iron, along with some gunpowder.

I will ask my mom if I can use some gold for glistering melons (I only need 2 ingots)

I will use her xp farm to get a crap ton of levels so I can enchant the gear with the books.

I will mine 32 obsidian.

I will make 2 ender chests.

I will put on my Solo Adventure gear and bring an ender chest so I can raid a fortress and easily store the skulls I obtain.

I will farm wither skeletons until I get 18.

I have 58 pumpkins. I will carve 24 of them.

I will make 6 splash potions of healing.

I will put 96 iron blocks, 24 carved pumpkins, 24 soul sand, those 18 skulls, my diamond gear, and those 6 splash potions into my ender chest.

I will fly to Really Damn Far Away™️ with food, a bed, 3 diamond pickaxes, lots of stacks of torches, and an ender chest.

I will dig a lil hole.

I will place my bed in it and set my spawn. I will place my ender chest next to it, put my fireworks and elytra in it, and grab the stuff I'll need (also I'll light up the hole).

I will dig a staircase to y=15 and mine on that level for like 200 blocks.

I'll dig a 5 long, 5 wide, 4 high hole with 3x5x4 grooves in each wall.

I'll make 4 T's of iron in the grooves and block them off with cobblestone, along with a soul sand T topped with 2 wither skulls in the middle of the hole.

I'll make my iron golems first, then the wither.

After the wither's initial explosion, if the golems are hurt, I'll throw a splash potion of healing so the golems don't die too fast (and also to hurt the wither a bit)

Once the wither dies I'll pick up the nether star and light up the destruction site (my iron golems can kill any mobs that try to attack me if they're still alive).

I'll tunnel 200 more blocks and repeat my wither killing process until I have 6 nether stars.

I'll put the nether stars in my ender chest, break my bed, then die.

I'll make 6 beacons, then go back to Industry Kingdom with my shulker boxes for another crap ton of iron.

I'll dig a 9x14x6 hole in my yard.

I'll place a 9x14 rectangle of iron, then a 7x12 rectangle over the center. I will surround it with dirt. I will then do the same but with a 5x10 and a 3x8 rectangle.

I will place my beacons and make the dirt covering that will cover the iron.

I will make my stained glass of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

I will power the first beacon with haste 2, then cover it with red glass.

I will power the second one with speed 2 then cover it with orange glass.

I will power the third one with jump boost 2 and make its light yellow.

The fourth one will give me strength 2 and be lime.

The fifth one will give me resistance 2, with a light blue light shining from it.
