Effects

Twelve effects ship with the mod. Cost is fuel units per second at level I, kept to yourself.

Effect	Cost/s	Max level	Needs tier	Available on
Jump Boost	0.8	II	I	numbered packs, Void
Speed	1.0	II	I	numbered packs, Void
Haste	1.0	II	I	numbered packs, Cinder
Night Vision	1.2	I	III	Void, Tidal
Resistance	1.5	II	II	numbered packs, Cinder
Water Breathing	1.5	I	III	Tidal
Slow Falling	1.8	I	III	Void
Fire Resistance	2.0	I	III	Cinder
Strength	2.0	II	III	numbered packs, Cinder
Dolphin's Grace	2.0	I	III	Tidal
Regeneration	3.0	II	III	numbered packs
Conduit Power	3.0	I	III	Tidal

"Needs tier" is the pack tier required. The three themed packs all count as tier III.

The numbered packs share one pool: Speed, Haste, Jump Boost, Resistance, Strength and Regeneration — the vanilla beacon's own list. That is deliberate: an unrestricted pool turns a utility mod into a cheat item. Widening it is a datapack away.

What an effect actually costs

cost/s  ×  2^(level - 1)  ×  audience multiplier

Raising an effect from level I to level II doubles its cost before the audience is even considered. Combined with a wider audience, a level II effect shared with allies costs four times the same effect kept to yourself.

Audience	Multiplier	Needs
Self	×1.0	any pack
Team	×1.7	tier II
Allies	×2.0	tier II
Pets	×2.4	tier III

Team is cheaper than Allies because it reaches fewer people — only players actually on your scoreboard team.

Choosing the audience per effect, rather than per pack, is the main decision the mod asks of you.

Effects a real beacon already gives you

An effect your own beacon is already providing costs nothing — the pack skips it entirely rather than reapplying it on top. Standing in your base does not drain the pack.

This can be turned off with free_while_near_beacon.

Effect icons

Icons come from the vanilla effect atlas, so anything registered displays correctly — vanilla, another mod's, or datapack-added — with no texture needed from Portable Beacons.
