The flat world of Minecraft is huge. In order not to get lost in it and always be able to find your home, players come up with a variety of mechanisms, buildings and tricks. One of these useful items can be a lighthouse. Today we will tell you how to craft a lighthouse at Minecraft.
What is needed
The construction of this building will require a player a lot of rare materials. To get them, you will definitely need a diamond pickaxe and any shovel. In addition, initially you need a stove and a workbench, but since you became interested in such buildings as a lighthouse, you should already have them.
A lighthouse comes in many sizes. Depending on this parameter, he will give the player various types of bonuses. We will analyze the process of creating the largest lighthouse and calculate materials, based on this. So, before crafting the lighthouse, you will need to stock:
- 5 blocks of sand (any);
- 164 blocks of diamonds / iron / gold / emeralds ;
- 3 blocks of obsidian;
- Star of the Underworld.
Please note that you will need exactly blocks, not ingots or just ore.
Treatment
The lighthouse itself consists of two parts. The first of them is a block, which is called: "Lighthouse". To create it, first melt the sand into glass using a furnace. After that, go to the workbench and lay out the following pattern on it:
- In the bottom horizontal line, place three obsidian blocks.
- Put the "Star" in the center cell of the workbench.
- Fill the remaining space with glass.
Everything, you have prepared a "flashlight", which then put on the completed lighthouse. For those who do not know how to get obsidian:
- Obsidian can be found in the lower world or in deep caves near lava. This material is mined exclusively with a diamond pickaxe. One block takes from 9 to 2 seconds, depending on the degree of enchantment of the tool.
- Also, this material can be created artificially. To do this, pour a bucket of water on a stationary pit with lava. If you try to pour on the current magma, you will get a cobblestone.
"Star"
Another item that you need to talk about getting to while figuring out how to craft a lighthouse.
- If you play in creative mode, then there should be no problems. This item is among others in your inventory.
- In peaceful mode, you won’t be able to get it.
- Therefore, the "Star of the Lower World" can be earned solely in survival. To get it, you will have to call a wither.
Who is that? The Wither is a mini-boss that you will not meet in the caves, you can only call him. To do this, you need 4 blocks of sand of the soul, mined in infernal fortresses, and 3 skulls of the skeleton of the withers. Once you have the ingredients, place them in the same way as when summoning the golem. Put the sand with the letter "T", and lay the skulls on the top three blocks.
After the call you will have some time. The boss will appear with 50% of their lives, but will be invulnerable and restore them to 100%. The fight will not be easy. The monster attacks with two attacks - blue and black skulls. Black flies at the player (or the goal of his aggression) and cannot destroy solid blocks. When hit by a living target, they impose a “wither” effect, which gradually kills the player and restores the boss’s life. Blue skulls fly out randomly and when damaged by the Wither. They fly slowly, but can explode and destroy absolutely any material.
On the tactics of battle, you can literally say a few words. Up to 50% can be beaten from a bow, after which he will receive a buff that protects him from ranged attacks. After that, you must either beat him with weapons enchanted in Heavenly Punishment, or throw him with potions of instant healing. After the battle, only one "Star" always falls from it.

Construction
So, having collected the lantern, we need to build a base for the lighthouse. To do this, lay out a 9x9 square on the ground. We put another one on it, only 7x7, then 5x5 and at the end 3x3. You should have a sort of Mayan pyramid.
When building, remember that you need blocks of a particular breed. You can mix them and use at least all types at the same time, but they should only be made of diamonds / iron / gold / emeralds. It used to be said that you would need 164 blocks. To create them, you will need 1,476 bars of iron / gold or as many diamonds / emeralds. Get ready to dig a lot.
At the very top of the pyramid we place our "lantern". After a couple of seconds, a column of light should start to come out of it. Now you know how to craft a lighthouse in Minecraft 1.5.2. If you are using a newer version of the game, then there should be no problems. The solution to the question of how to craft a beacon in Minecraft 1.8 is absolutely identical to the old version.
Using
Depending on the height of the pyramid, the player will make an “offering” in the form of a diamond / emerald or an ingot of gold / iron. Regardless of the type of "gift", the player will be able to choose which effect to activate. The types of buffs depend on the height of the pyramid. That is, you can "remove" the layers, starting from the bottom and building the base 7x7 or 5x5. At the maximum size, the player will receive a secondary effect (regeneration), which does not change. Before using the lighthouse, remember that the effect lasts infinitely only in the immediate vicinity of it (50 blocks, if the pyramid is the largest), going beyond the limits the effect will disappear after 9 seconds.
