Beacon

Beacons are Utility Blocks which are unique and send out light to the sky.

Usage
A beacon is a light source. It can melt Snow and Ice. When activated, it sends a light to sky and gives the player status effects from a certain range. In order to be activated it must have a clear view of the sky and be on top of a pyramid made of Iron Blocks, Gold Blocks, Emerald Blocks, and/or Diamond Blocks.

Crafting
To craft a Beacon, you need five Glass Blocks, three Obsidian Blocks, and a Nether Star.

Trivia

 * The Player is able to leave an item in the Beacon without pressing "Done".
