Item beacon 1.17

The Item beacon is an alternative version of the beacon that only works when at full power with a pyramid of regular beacon supported blocks such as emerald,diamond, and iron. The item beacon has an interface similar to a chest but with a text input bar added to it so that you can send items to a channel of that name. Anyone who has a fully powered item beacon can then enter in the text bar the same passphrase as the sender, to gain access to the inventory associated with that channel. An example would be, Player1 goes to the item beacon and enters into the text bar "coffeebean" then puts in a stack of wool for player 2, who goes to their item beacon 2000 blocks away and enters "coffeebean" in the text bar, gaining access to that specific inventory and the wool that was sent to them. The crafting recipe is as follows: left column is all copper same as right column. Bottom is an enderchest middle is a beacon and finally the top center is a lightning rod. Let me know what you think.

    Hmm, this item would be more for multiplayer, but if you play alone, what use would it bring? It would not work as an ender chest nor as a beacon, so its use would be inefficient in singleplayer, now who knows if it will have a use beyond what I think but hey, let's say it is useful for multiplayer, it would have the same catalyst items to send items to another player, right? I would suggest that the type of mineral is proportional to the number of items to be sent and the time it would take to send those items, that is:

    • Iron could only send 32 items being stackable or no item not stacking (INS) within 2 days of Minecraft (DMC)
    • Copper: 2 stacks or only 2 INS at 1.8 DMC
    • Gold: 4 stacks or 6 INS at 1.4 DMC
    • Diamond: 8 stacks or 12 INS at 1 DMC
    • Emerald: 14 stacks or 20 INS at 0.7 DMC
    • Netherite: 20 stacks or 27 INS at 0.2 DMC
