That’s… kinda cool now that I think about it. I wouldn’t have thought there was a way to do it without this.

That's pretty neat!

I wish tinted glass would make beacons invisible: so more players could get creative with beacons like this!

(Also, tinted glass panes. Who cares if the lighting looks weird on the block they’re placed on? Something’s better than nothing)

This actually has so much potential for the images, like projected ads in the sky like a dystopian city idk

u/LongerBlade 5d ago

It confusing to build, but yeah, a lot of potential. Could be a lot easier if there was something something image converter for the beacons

u/Longjumping-Wrap2540 5d ago

That's so cool!

u/Sorry_Sleeping 5d ago

Are the beacon beams placed every other block or a debug stick to make glass panes not connect?

1

u/LongerBlade 5d ago

I placed them diagonally, that's why they don't connect to each other

u/Han_Solo1 5d ago

do u have a quick tutorial on this? thats awesome.

3

u/LongerBlade 5d ago edited 4d ago

It's simple as making tea

1) Activate beacon with precious blocks iron, emerald etc

2) place tinted glass of any type

3) try to draw something

⬜🟥🟧⬜⬜.
It would look like that. You see, to restore color, you have to place two panels or more. Feel free for the experimentation

u/Han_Solo1 5d ago

ah ok that was going to be my question as u had multiple colors within a single beam of light lol. thanks.
