"Aura Block" would be a better name

Shouldn't we name this "Aura Block" ? It's true we can see it from far but it's not really it's main function. Algent 01:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Beacon redstone

since the glass does not stop the power of the beacon block, we can use pistons and glass to make redstone systems, with hidden pyramids.

Is there a way to force light beam to render

On computers which don't show light beam -- [Posted by 68.231.126.31]

Effects

I suppose the regen and speed effects are just like potion effects, just not temporary. However, what does "Haste" do? There's not a potion that has that effect.

I would assume from the picture that it makes you mine (or similar things) faster

Light beam

Why isnt a light beam showing up above my beacon block? I have the pyramid exactly right and it's not showing anything above it. Can someone help?

If the beacon GUI doesn't show any powers, you did something wrong. Otherwise your computer is not good enough to render the beam. In any case, you should give us a screenshot for questions like these.--Johnfaber 10:47, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I just heard you probably need to update your OpenGL.--Johnfaber 12:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
OpenGL is updated through the drivers/GPU, not you; it's not a runtime that the consumer installs manually like DirectX. Iyeru 15:49, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
