# Features - Dynamic beacon range depending on pyramid blocks - More expensive blocks = higher range - Mix and match block types to get the most out of your beacon - Beacon effects can also be applied to mobs! (configurable) - Applies to tamed pets by default (horses, dogs, etc.) - Tinted glass above an active beacon will hide the beam - Completely configurable! ## Notes - **Beacons will only give effects to players if the beacon is in a loaded chunk.** Configuring the plugin for higher ranges, or running it on a server with a smaller view distance, means that **extra range may get cut off.** # Commands and Permissions | Command | Description | Permission | Default | |-----------|-------------------------------------|---------------------|----------| | /bbrReload| Reloads the config file | `BetterBeaconRange.reload` | OP | | /bbrGetRange| Gets the range of the beacon you're looking at | `BetterBeaconRange.getRange` | everyone | # Example beacons:
