Raw Copper Beacon Base Data Pack (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – A Versatile Minecraft Beacon Option

Raw Copper Beacon Base Data Pack (1.21.7, 1.20.1) enhances the beacon system in Minecraft by allowing players to use raw copper blocks as part of their beacon bases. Traditionally, only iron, gold, emerald, netherite, and diamond blocks could be used, limiting both visual variety and resource flexibility. This data pack expands your options, letting you build fully functional beacons with raw copper a resource that’s both abundant and aesthetically unique.

Compatible with versions from 1.20.1 to 1.21.7, this data pack also enables the use of raw copper items (not just blocks) as valid beacon payment. Whether you’re designing copper-themed builds or simply have a surplus of raw copper in storage, this tweak makes your gameplay more creative and resource-efficient.

Features:

• Beacon Base Expansion: Use raw copper blocks as valid structure materials for beacon pyramids.
• Copper Payment Support: Raw copper items can now be used to activate beacon powers.
• Resource-Friendly: Ideal for early- to mid-game players who have plenty of copper but lack diamond or netherite.
• Improved Visuals: Adds orange-copper color tones to beacon structures, opening new design aesthetics.
• Fully Vanilla-Compatible: This data pack doesn’t require any mods and works with existing beacon mechanics.

Why Use Raw Copper Beacon Base?

If you’re tired of using the same materials for every beacon you build, this data pack offers a refreshing change. Raw copper blocks not only give your beacon structures a warm, metallic hue but also allow you to repurpose copper — one of the most underutilized resources in the game.

It’s especially useful for builders who want to color-coordinate their beacons with copper roofs, lightning rods, or oxidized copper structures. Plus, using copper as a payment option means fewer trips to the mine for rare ores.
