FAQ

Does this make the vanilla beacon pointless?

No, and three things keep it that way. Every pack tier consumes a Beacon block in its recipe, so you build one before you get a pack at all. Aura ranges top out at 16 blocks against the block's 20–50, so a placed beacon is still better for a base. And an effect your beacon already provides costs the pack nothing, so the two are complementary rather than competing.

Can I carry several packs at once?

You can carry them; only one runs. The first active pack in your inventory wins, hotbar first. Stacking them would make the tier ladder pointless — four tier I packs would beat one tier IV.

Why is my effect not in the list?

The picker only shows what your pack is allowed to project. Most effects need tier III, and the themed packs each have their own narrow pool. See Effects for the full table.

Why did my pack turn itself off?

It ran out of fuel. It says so in the action bar and plays the beacon deactivation sound rather than stopping silently. Refill it and switch it back on.

Why won't my pack accept a netherite ingot?

Because its buffer cannot hold the whole thing, and it refuses to swallow an ingot for a fraction of its value. Use a smaller fuel, or fit a Capacity augment. See Fuel.

Can I have two Range augments?

No — one augment of each type per pack. The slot refuses it, and so does the resolver, so it cannot be worked around with commands either.

How do I turn fuel off?

require_fuel = false in the server config. Fuel then disappears from the screen entirely rather than sitting there inert.

My effects buff people I am fighting.

Set that effect's audience to Team, or ask the server to set aura_affects_non_team_players = false, which makes Allies mean actual allies. See Configuration.

Can I hide the particles?

Yes — the Discretion augment. At tier II it hides the status icon as well.

Do I need this on the server?

Yes, on both sides. See Compatibility.

Can I add my own effects, augments or packs?

Effects, augments, tiers and fuels: yes, with a datapack and no code. New pack items need an addon mod, though a datapack can retune any of the seven that ship. See the Datapack Guide.

Is there a version for 1.20.1 / Fabric / the latest snapshot?

Not yet. See Compatibility for where that stands.
