I was looking for a config file to edit, or change beacon tier ranges and such. But i couldnt find one. Is there a config file and where do i find it?

Much thanks.

Alright, thank you very much <3

Than i just leave this here as an idea to improve the mod. I think that the normal beacon range is just way to short especially for Multiplayer and a config were you can say like iron has base reache an the more valuable you go with you materials like emerald ads +1 Range per Block to the Overall Range or Diamond ads +1.5 range per block used etc.

The mod has no configuration file for ranges currently, but you can control the blocks that are accepted for each tier by adding and removing them from the potency tags using a data pack, beaconoverhaul:high_potency and beaconoverhaul:low_potency (https://github.com/ChloeDawn/BeaconOverhaul/tree/0400cd7c92ff8a1f0f68b16096f611579419fc28/src/main/resources/data/beaconoverhaul/tags/blocks), and there is a game rule longReachIncrement for determining the number of blocks per level Long Reach extends reach to.

As explained in my first reply, beacon materials can already be defined using a data pack ^^;

I personally feel like the scaling formula for beacons is pretty well balanced, I don't think it needs to be configurable. The current formula for radius is (levels * 10) + (10 * (tier + 1)) and the formula for duration is ((9 * (tier + 1)) + (levels * 2)) * 20.

Well if you think so that's fine. One other suggestion would be that if we not tinker with range or potency, i personally think that the tier 2 beacon should be Emerald and the Tier 3 beacon Diamond. My reasoning: Emerald is pretty hard or at least time consuming enough that it would explain the power buff to tier 2 and Diamond is just very expensive but the reason I would put it on tier 3 is not because how hard it is to get it, but more like that netherite being tier 3 is if you use the mode out of a Vanilla stand point, totally ridiculous and the benefits are just not worth at all for the time spending like over 100hours or more mining Netherite. So in my opinion Netherite ist totally impossible to obtain for a full beacon. To justify that I would probably make it so that that full Netherite beacon give all the effects on like 200.Block range or so. But well that would probably be to way too much to so... I let you figure that one out :D

I've seen lots of devs say "just use a datapack to make the changes", but I'm not exactly sure what that means. Do you need to craft a new datapack, or is there one provided within the mod that needs to be tweaked? I am a dev, a sysadmin, and a roboticist, but I haven't yet dabbled in building mods and datapacks, just tweaking them.
