Beacons
Block Type Multiplier (per block)
= 0.2
= 0.3
= 0.4
= 0.6
= 0.9
Beacon Level Multiplier
Level 1 = 0.5
Level 2 = 1.0
Level 3 = 2.0
Level 4 = 3.0
Calculation
Blocks x Block Type Multiplier x Beacon Level Multiplier = Range Per Level
Add all Ranges Per Level together to get Total Range
Examples
Iron beacons are cheap, but their max range is small. This promotes using more expensive materials
B Beacon Blocks x TypeMultiplier x LevelMultiplier = RangePerLevel
III 3x3 Iron 9 x 0.2 x 3.0 = 5.4
IIIII 5x5 Iron 25 x 0.2 x 2.0 = 10
IIIIIII 7x7 Iron 49 x 0.2 x 1.0 = 9.8
IIIIIIIII 9x9 Iron 81 x 0.2 x 0.5 = 8.1

---------
Total Range = 33.3 Blocks
Diamond beacons are expensive, but their range is MUCH higher than Vanilla's max of 50
B Beacon Blocks x TypeMultiplier x LevelMultiplier = RangePerLevel
DDD 3x3 Diamond 9 x 0.8 x 3.0 = 21.6
DDDDD 5x5 Diamond 25 x 0.8 x 2.0 = 40
DDDDDDD 7x7 Diamond 49 x 0.8 x 1.0 = 39.2
DDDDDDDDD 9x9 Diamond 81 x 0.8 x 0.5 = 32.4

---------
Total Range = 133.2 Blocks
Mix and match block types to get the most out of your beacon
B Beacon Blocks x TypeMultiplier x LevelMultiplier = RangePerLevel
NNN 3x3 Netherite 9 x 1.0 x 3.0 = 27
DDDDD 5x5 Diamond 25 x 0.8 x 2.0 = 40
EEEEEEE 7x7 Emerald 49 x 0.6 x 1.0 = 29.4
GGGGGGGGG 9x9 Gold 81 x 0.4 x 0.5 = 16.2
