How to use the Beacon Pyramid Calculator

Choose the number of completed pyramid levels from one through four.
Collect the displayed total using valid mineral blocks in any mixture.
Place progressively larger odd-square layers beneath the beacon.

Total blocks are the sum of 3², 5², 7² and 9² for each included level: 9, 34, 83 or 164.

Worked example

Example result

A full four-level pyramid needs 164 mineral blocks, equal to 2 full stacks plus 36 blocks.

The beacon block itself is not included in the mineral-block total.
Valid base materials can be mixed within a pyramid without changing the calculated count.
