Beacon activation material changes range and duration of the effect

Just as the range of the beacon varies according to the height of the pyramid, the range will be greater as the value of the material with which the pyramid is built increases. In this way, making diamond or netherite pyramids will be worth it as the beacon will have much more range.

Also, the mineral with which you activate the effect of the beacon will make it last longer according to its value. Thus, using a netherite ingot will give you a slightly longer window of time in case you stray too far from the beacon.
