Hello. do you have an idea why my underground beacon doesnt give its effect all the way up . when i am not mining i dont get the effect even when i am like 3 blocks from the beam. when i am down it works all good . i dont remember having this problem before . any ideas ? i am playing in 1.12.2
I think beacons work at a certain block radius, but I’m not sure myself.

Just figured out that when I'd turn 8 years old, the 23th of November 2011, my parents could have offered me Minecraft as a birthday gift. Sigh...
Fun but frustrating platformer. Saves me of boredom when I don't feel like playing Minecraft. Knowledge of 8-bit old-school videogames is optional tho'.
"The beacon affects an area in the shape of a square column, which
reaches downwards and out to each side at a range determined by the size
of the pyramid base (see table below), and upwards a distance of that
range + 256.[[/sup]"
But also note "Beacon beams cannot go through most blocks, but can go through bedrock and end portal blocks"

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
Yeah but if the beam is blocked they stop working altogether don't they?
I've not played with beacons in 1.13 yet, but as of 1.12.2, the beam will not form with an inappropriate block (basically any non-transparent block, but a few odd cases like leaves work) in the beam path and will (temporarily) shut down if such a block is placed into the path. [The beam and any powers return with the removal of the block.]

Im having this same problem and nothing is blocking the beam.
Even had a mod come bye and he is dumbstruck, especially since hte beam WILL work on higher levels if someone is standing on or next to the beacon. f that person moves away, the beacon wont refresh the buffs ( beam willl stay)
