  1. I got a few questions:

    1. Are beacon mine-able with a normal diamond pick? Without the need of silk touch..
    2. How much are Beacons?
    3. How do you set up and power up beacons..
  2. 1.I mine beacons with my iron pickā€¦
    2.About 15-25k
    3.3x3, 5x5, 7x7, or 9x9 pyramid or iron/gold/emerald/diamond blocks.
  3. Hmm.. Can someone sell me three beacons for 15k each?
  4. It's usually about 17k-22k - very rarely 15k
  5. 1. Are beacon mine-able with a normal diamond pick? Without the need of silk touch. Yes
    2. How much are Beacons? More than 15k :rolleyes:
    3. How do you set up and power up beacons? Make a 1 to 4 floors of emerald/diamond/iron/gold pyramid and put the beacon on the top, replacing the top block.
  6. Lowest price for the beacons is 16k and as always it depends on who you are buying from :)
  7. I need 3 more beacons.. Bought 1.

    Does the amount of blocks or blocks used to make beacon change it';s effect?ei. Diamond,emeralds
  8. I can sell you one for 19k if you wish.
    The amount does change the effect, but the block doesn't.
    And it hasn't been said yet, you can mine a beacon with your hands, it won't break.
  9. You make the pyramid with different blocks? Like half diamond, half gold? or something
  10. Yes you can
  11. I personally think there a waste of time, i had two and sold one for 22k and one for 15k :p
  12. The effect will still be same..?
  13. I can sell you the remaining 3 you need for just 17k each.
  14. Yes it will. The size of the pyramid is the only changing factor.
  15. I just bought 3 for 15k each.

    I'm okay thanks though.
  16. Yes, you can visit Cordial_Pie's residence to see it.
