Beacon Blocker

Beacon Blocker

A small Fabric mod that makes tinted glass interact with beacon beams.

In vanilla Minecraft, tinted glass blocks both the beacon beam and its effects entirely. This mod changes that: placing tinted glass above a beacon lets effects continue through it as normal, but visually caps the beam at the glass — the beam does not render above it.

Optionally, you can also cap the effect range at the tinted glass height, so players above the glass do not receive effects even though the beacon itself remains active.

Installation

Drop the .jar file into your mods/ folder.

Configuration

A config file is created at config/beacon-blocker.json on first launch.

{
  "capBeamHeight": true,
  "capEffectHeight": false
}

| Option | Default | Description |
|——————|———|————————————————————————————————————————————–|
| capBeamHeight | true | The beacon beam stops rendering at the tinted glass block. This option only works client-side due to where beacon-rendering happens. |
| capEffectHeight | false | Players above the tinted glass do not receive beacon effects. This option only works server-side. |

Multiplayer

capBeamHeight is read from the client config and only affects what they see.

capEffectHeight is read from the server config and affects all players on that server. Individual client values for this option are ignored in multiplayer.

Single Player

Both config option are read from the same config file.
