Beacons without beams.

    I love the global effects of beacons; I'd like players on my server to have them! Lots!

    I hate the beams. Hate 'em.

    I'd like a plugin that leaves the beacon, leaves the effect.... And removes the beam.

    timtower Could they be worked so they only function with a specific block at "X distance" above them?

    Like, here's the beacon. Put obsidian two blocks above it, or it don't go - something like that?

    Levi Kornelsen The beam is always handled client side, you could let the client think that the beacon isn't active though ( just thought of this ), server will still see it as a working beacon

    timtower ...So, it could be done?! Sweet!

    (I don't code, myself - I just run my server; getting plugins to work nice together is the limit of my coding expertise. Which is why I came to the request board.)

    timtower Just how much of it is handled client side? Long time since I've been in a game looking at a beacon, just wondering if it is off at times.

    timtower With "the effects", do you mean you can tell the client to turn it off? (Ofc you can't cut it in half, I had realized as much) :)

    You could create a custom block and render the gfx as a beacon

    whitehooder I mean like the haste etc, those effects are server side :p
    callum.thepro Wouldn't give the status effects though

    get a location with w/e and if the player is in that region add him the x effect for x time.
    Try this.

    That is what I meant by a custom block :)

    Sorry but I had to say it. You can just use a texture pack that doesnt include the beam? Would be a simple solution if your the only one who doesnt want to see the beam.

    Point proven presto -_-, but he may want... well. Nvm. People on the server won't care. :/
