MCBE beacon particles

when using a beacon, there shouldn't be the swirl bubbles/particles. especially in first person. they are really annoying and makes using a beacon not very enjoyable.

    The beacon bubble particles are unnecessary and distracting. Please remove them - or at make them toggleable. 

    After making the effort to gather the resources and build a Beacon in my home base - I quickly turned off the effect because the bubbles are so annoying. They block vision and create a distraction -- the effect badge on the right of the screen is sufficient.

    Particles give me headaches.  Can't have a beacon at my base because particles are so annoying.

    Absolutely. There’s absolutely no point in activating beacons or conduits when spirals are constantly covering your face. I don’t know if there’s a toggle for this on PC, but on my PS4 I have no options in regards to this. Imagine taking a screenshot in first person and theirs spirals blocking your entire screen.

    I agree that the particle effects are annoying. I get why they exist, though, which is why I think that you should just be able to turn them off if you don't want them in the video settings. At the very least, please tone them down a lot. Instead of a constant swirl of particles around you, blocking your vision, maybe just the occasional once particle at a time here and there.

    This needs to be toggleable for beacons and potions, the display in the top right corner is enough. I worked so hard to get a beacon and now I can't use it bc of the particles making me dizzy and nauseas.

    Popping in to say that this is still very much an issue. Minecraft seems to really care when it comes to accessibility -- to continue that trend, these effects truly need to be toggleable. Multiple folks here, as well as myself, have health issues associated with the beacon / potion particles. I would love to be able to fully play the game with the beacons I've acquired, without feeling dizzy and sick.

    Please remove the beacon particles and extend the visibility of its ray: I can't see it just 100-150 blocks away from it!
