The materials you need to craft a Beacon in Minecraft

For crafting a Beacon in Minecraft, you need to gather some materials from your Minecraft world.

1. Glass
2. Obsidian

Glass

Glass is the easiest material you can create in Minecraft movie with the help of Sand. You can find sand easily on the beach or desert. You’ll need five blocks of sand or any type of fuel to make a glass.

Obsidian

The next material that is needed is Obsidian. You can find this by mining it from the bottom of the ground and also there one more way to create obsidian by yourself is by dropping water from the bucket into lava.

Nether Star

It is the rarest item in the Minecraft world. You can get Nether Star by winning a victory over the most powerful boss in Minecraft, “The Wither”.

4. Pile the soul sand in a “T” shape, and put three skulls on top of it and the runaway.
5. After some time, the Wither will spawn and create a heavy detonation around itself. Once the detonation gets away, fight with wither and kill it.
