Beacon build plans, step by step

Arcane crystal beacon plan from the Beacon hall

Beacon plans are built around a pad, a tower or shrine, and a beam. Arcane Crystal Beacon is typical: a sandstone core, purple beam, and crystal columns. Walk the base layers first so the beam sits on a square you already placed.

Walk a beacon plan

  1. Open Beacon (13 plans).
  2. Read height. Beams need clear sky.
  3. Gather stained glass, stone, and crystal-style blocks from the list.
  4. Walk the pad and stairs before the tower.
  5. Finish the beam layers last.

A small hall on purpose

There are 13 beacon plans. That is enough to pick a shrine, a tree, a fountain, or a medieval tower without scrolling forever. Open covers until the silhouette matches the plot you have.

The layer photos include the beam. Place the structure first. If you build the beam early you will walk around it for the rest of the plan.

Pair with a house

Pin a house and a beacon together. Finish the house walk, then the beacon walk. The Pinned tab is the short list for a single plot.
