Beacon Strike

# ⚡ BeaconStrike > **Turn your Beacon into a weapon. Place an End Crystal on top — and watch it hunt.** BeaconStrike is a Minecraft plugin that transforms the humble Beacon into an automated mob-defense turret. Stack an End Crystal on any Beacon, upgrade it with configurable items, and it will fire a sonic boom beam at every nearby hostile mob — automatically. --- ## 🎬 How It Works 1. Place a **Beacon** anywhere in the world 2. Put an **End Crystal** on top of it 3. Right-click the Beacon to open the **upgrade GUI** 4. Upgrade **Damage** and **Range** using configurable items 5. Watch your Beacon shred mobs within range — with particles, sound effects, and a colored beam --- ## ✨ Features - 🔫 **Automated mob turret** — targets all hostile mobs in range every tick interval - 💥 **Sonic boom beam** with colored dust particles connecting crystal to mob - 🎨 **16 beam colors** — cycle through all wool/glass colors via the GUI - 📈 **Upgradeable damage & range** — up to a configurable max level - 🔮 **Orbit particles** around the crystal to visualize the active multiblock - 👁️ **Line-of-sight check** — won't fire through too many solid blocks - 🔊 **Configurable hit sound** with adjustable volume - 🧱 **Break-safe** — returns upgrade items when the beacon is broken - 💾 **Persistent data** — upgrade levels and colors survive server restarts - 🌐 **Fully translatable** — every message is editable in `config.yml` --- ## 🧱 Multiblock Setup ``` ← place on top ← right-click to open GUI ``` Simply right-click any End Crystal item onto the top of a Beacon.
