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).

% Netherite in beacons should create/expand an area where mobs can't spawn

A famous suggestion, championed by well-known players such as xisumavoid, is to allow it so that beacons prevent mob spawning in a certain area, which will become even more relevant while building mob farms with the 1.17+ expanded world height.

However, due to criticism of this being too powerful and potentially unwanted by the player who builds a beacon, I suggest that:

Only beacons which include netherite blocks in their base prevent mobs from spawning in a certain area. The area of this effect would be a percentage of the beacon's current total area of effect (depending on the tier of the beacon) equal to that of netherite blocks used as a part of the beacon's base.

This suggestion limits the power of the "beacons proofing mob spawns" idea by involving netherite, allows the player to control for this variable, and incentivizes netherite mining (including redstone-aided mining) for advanced late to end-game players by providing a new use to this rare material.

    *The percentage of area doesn't have to be 1:1, so for example having only 50% of the beacon base be netherite could result in 100% of the area of effect preventing mob spawning.

    Personally, I would prefer lower numbers like 33% or 25% for this value since a full beacon made from netherite isn't something everyone will have the time to construct in order to have access to this full-beacon-radius mob proofing hypothetical feature

    I really hope for the developers to see this idea because it is REALLY good and REALLY needed

    Im over here trying to build a base in the nether and its downright impossible with creepers 2.0 (Ghast). I like to use snow in my builds and Ghasts do serious damage to the builds i try to make, and whats worst is i want to live in the soul sand valley where the Ghast unfortunatly like to party at

    But this idea right here, words cannot describe how happy id be to have it, and i mean that really. Its a marvelous idea, you have my vote all the way
