Telebeacons [Forge]

Telebeacons is a vanilla-styled Minecraft mod that introduces several blocks for creating a comprehensive teleportation network based on beacons.

The mod adds to the game:

Beam Redirector

This block allows redirecting the beacon beam in different directions. It's important to note that when the beam is redirected, it loses all effects that the beacon was providing to players within its range.

Place the redirector above a beacon and right-click the bottom face to activate it. Clicking on any face toggles the block between closed state (blocking the beam) and open state (projecting the beacon beam). By creating a chain of redirectors with open faces, you build the foundation of your teleportation network.

You can place stained glass at any point in the beam chain to change the beacon's color — this determines the "network channel" for all transceivers connected to that beam branch.

Transceiver

This block accepts a beacon beam from any side and can be placed either facing upward or downward. When powered with redstone and receiving a beam, the transceiver creates a 3×3×3 particle field shifted two blocks above or below it (leaving one block of space between the teleportation field and the transceiver itself).

When an entity enters a transceiver's teleportation zone, it is instantly transported to another transceiver of the same color (if multiple exist — selection is random) or to an uncolored transceiver, with preference given to colored ones.

System Features

Each redirector consumes some beam strength when redirecting it. The higher the beacon level (more tiers), the more turns the beam can make.

A transceiver can only operate within one network at a time. Attempting to connect it to two different networks simultaneously will cause the device to malfunction due to quantum superposition.
