	The effects of a beacon constitutes within a cuboid region, which reaches downward and out to each side at a range determined by the size of the pyramid base (see table below), and upward a distance of that range + the height ~~of this dimension blocks~~.		The effects of a beacon constitutes within a cuboid region, which reaches downward and out to each side at a range determined by the size of the pyramid base (see table below), and upward a distance of that range plus the current dimension's height limit (e.g. 319 in the Overworld).

	The effect duration from the beacon is also determined by the size of the pyramid base (Pyramid size × 2 + 9).		The effect duration from the beacon is also determined by the size of the pyramid base (Pyramid size × 2 + 9).
