Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Beacon Upgrades

In the Beacons settings it shows that you can put down 1 Iron, Gold, Emerald, or 1 Diamond. That’s great but why would the player be given these options when they could just use 1 Iron Ingot that’s cheaper? I’ve found a way to upgrade the Beacons settings so that it makes more sense.

 

Iron: The Iron can be used to get the regular effect. Simple.

Gold: The Gold can be used to increase the time limitation on the effect.

Emerald: The Emerald can be used to increase the effects tier(so tier 2).

Diamond: The Diamond will be used to increase the block range of the effects.

 

Now I know this seems to be OP but it’s actually not if you think about it. It would be OP if the player uses this Beacon upgrade in one spot but say that they want to go for a quick mining trip, they would have to move the Beacon which would get rid of all the tiers and they would have get the materials again to max it out just like the Beacon in the present day.

If you think this shouldn’t be in game I understand but I know that Mojang is gonna be doing something with Beacons settings because who would want to use a Diamond instead of Iron? Let me know what you think in the comment section below and if you do want to see this in game, please give it a vote. Thank you.

    I would have suggested that the mineral you used to activate the beacon depends on what level effect you getting. Tier 1 beacon effects requires iron, tier 2 beacon effects requires gold, tier 3 beacons require emeralds and tier 4 requires diamonds.

    Well emerald is about 25 times rarer than diamonds so i think tier 3 is diamond and tier 4 would be emerald

    Okay that's pretty cool, it should be added. Your version the idea creator, not the other commenter, your version gives tasking to get what you want which is a grind which I like. If there is a grind involved I like it, yet if there is a way to think of doing it differently I ultimately do it differently than the typical course of action I like exploits, I hate it that Microsoft takes away exploits, rather than making a version like a game mode similar to creative but it's survival, just every exploit Is available to be done, to reminisce, rather than oh remember that.
    But hands down good idea to add to the game, Minecraft Needs more complexity, I just wish they'd add rotating blocks that smoothly move
