Minecraft player builds a complete netherite beacon in survival

Netherite is arguably the most difficult material to find in Minecraft. Players need to dig deep into the Nether realm to excavate Ancient Debris and process them to extract it. Netherite blocks can be crafted and used to activate beacons, but hardly any player uses them since iron blocks also work for the same and are easier to locate.

However, some have successfully created an entire netherite-powered beacon. Recently, a Redditor called 'u/xdroop' posted a picture of a full beacon they made with netherite blocks in a multiplayer survival server. Netherite beacons are challenging to create on a server since other players use the material as well.

Powered by netherite blocks, the beacon was decorated with layers of emerald, gold, and even iron blocks on the pyramid. The player who took the screenshot is also in the picture, wearing diamond leggings and boots, a gold helmet, and enchanted elytra.

Minecraft community reacts to Redditor's full netherite beacon

Since players rarely build a full netherite beacon in their survival worlds, this post caught a lot of attention on Minecraft's official subreddit. Within a day, the post received over 11 thousand upvotes and hundreds of comments. It even got a few awards from the members.

As with any massive achievement in Minecraft that gets posted on the subreddit, it compelled one of the members to ask how long it took to create the netherite-powered beacon. The original poster responded that it took them 103 calendar days, during which they worked for around 200 to 300 hours on the project.

In the same thread, another Redditor was slightly skeptical about whether the project was legitimate. There were loads of other comments as well doubting the original poster and the netherite beacon in survival mode. This is because players can go into Creative mode and construct the netherite beacon within minutes.

However, the original poster claimed they have all their in-game data of working long hours to gather netherite.

Several Redditors also pointed out how the original poster was not carrying any armor parts or gear made of netherite since they used everything to create the beacon. They appreciated the sacrifices made by the player for his project.

While several users doubted the authenticity of the full netherite beacon, most were impressed and praised the project and the player. Though the original poster didn't show any in-game progress data, they wrote that they legitimately worked long hours to collect all the netherite. The post continues to gather upvotes and comments despite being posted on the Minecraft subreddit 18 hours ago.
