Additionally lets more copper blocks be used as the base, and this datapack only creates a single scoreboard, with no visible advancements or random messages.
Type ``/function blue:be/help`` for a full list of settings, alongside their information.
Old Beacons
Due to Minecraft's limitations (Or, the limited performance of any hardware), this datapack will not automatically detect beacons that were placed before it was added. You can however run "/function blue:be/quick_find" to start checking blocks in front of all players for 15 seconds, being a more convenient way to quickly add old beacons.Customizations
By default, this datapack will only affect peaceful mobs within the vanilla range, duration, and frequency, but that can all be modified to almost whatever you want, even making it where only players are affected with 2x beacon range, etc.
Github is owned by the original requestor of this project, with older information being found there.
Feel free to use this datapack wherever you want, preferably with credit.
