Turn your Beacon into a weapon. Place an End Crystal on top — and watch it hunt.
BeaconStrike is a Minecraft plugin that transforms the humble Beacon into an automated mob-defense turret. Stack an End Crystal on any Beacon, upgrade it with configurable items, and it will fire a sonic boom beam at every nearby hostile mob — automatically.
- Place a Beacon anywhere in the world
- Put an End Crystal on top of it
- Right-click the Beacon to open the upgrade GUI
- Upgrade Damage and Range using configurable items
- Watch your Beacon shred mobs within range — with particles, sound effects, and a colored beam
- 🔫 Automated mob turret — targets all hostile mobs in range every tick interval
- 💥 Sonic boom beam with colored dust particles connecting crystal to mob
- 🎨 16 beam colors — cycle through all wool/glass colors via the GUI
- 📈 Upgradeable damage & range — up to a configurable max level
- 🔮 Orbit particles around the crystal to visualize the active multiblock
- 👁️ Line-of-sight check — won't fire through too many solid blocks
- 🔊 Configurable hit sound with adjustable volume
- 🧱 Break-safe — returns upgrade items when the beacon is broken
- 💾 Persistent data — upgrade levels and colors survive server restarts
- 🌐 Fully translatable — every message is editable in
config.yml
