When a Blue Beacon has been rotated, then its beam of light will be sent sideways or downwards from its opened face. This way it can be used to help you with building large constructions. The beam will only be sent out as long as the Beacon is activated of course.

The recipe will then stay available in your crafting menu on all Creativerse game worlds like all other rare and store-bought Recipes, even on worlds where the "Pro" option "world bound recipes" is enabled.

Since update R32 you won't need any Power Cells (Mining Cell) to pick up crafted objects like that that have been placed into the game world. Of course you won't be able to pick up beacons on game worlds, on player claims or in Adventures where your Permission rank is not sufficient (mainly when you are merely a visitor), which can only be changed by the owner of the game world, claim owner or Adventure creator.

Type "n" (as the default key) to inspect the wiring window of the Blue Beacon if you wish to type a code word into the receiving array that you can then also use in the sending array of the activation device/s and/or operating gate/s.

Blue Beacons can be placed directly into any game world from the quickbar, and then can be switched on / off by activating them by pressing "f" as the default key or using the right mouse button while pointing your cursor at them.

For example, if Australia Day fell on a Sunday, and the Monday was declared as the day in lieu, parking would be unrestricted and free in the City of Melbourne on both Sunday and Monday (anywhere signs had days of the week stated on them).

Colored Beacons can be placed in a row which will "mix" their colors (for example: yellow + blue = green, or red + blue = violet).

Different from Healing Beacons, a Blue Beacon does not have any purifying effects and will neither hurt nor kill Corrupted Creatures.

In order to permanently add the rare crafting recipe to your crafting menu after you've found it, this recipe has to be learnt at first by right-clicking on it in your inventory/bag or dragging it with the left mouse-button over your player character model on the right side of the inventory.

You must not park for longer than the time limit shown on the sign. Your permit does not extend this time in an area already designated for disability parking.

For this, use your Wiring Tool and "n" to open the wiring window of the Blue Beacon and look for the padlock symbol in the top right corner of the settings window. This permission is set to "world builders" by default when placing the Blue Beacon, and on player claims it's automatically set to "claim builders" when being placed.

This applies only to the municipality of Melbourne. It is intended to minimise confusion in cases where the event commemorated occurs on a different day to the officially gazetted public holiday. ​

The chosen rotation angle can be "locked" too by simply typing "r" while looking at an already rotated object or block; then all items of the same stack in the selected quickslot will automatically be facing the same direction when placed.

This beacon can be crafted in your Crafting Menu (to be opened by pressing "Q" as the default key), but only after the according rare crafting Recipe has been learnt after finding it in an Iron Treasure Chest or a Diamond Treasure Chest or obtaining it from a Thing either as a loot or pet-harvest.

Like all other beacons, the Blue Beacon can be placed and fully rotated, switched on and off, and it can be wired to activation devices (optionally with operating gates in between) to be activated/deactivated from a distance, in a sequence, for a specific length of time, etc.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

A Blue Beacon is an object that sends out a blue beam of light from the top side (but can be rotated alternatively) that can pass "through" any kind of block (while not rendering it invisible or transparent though).

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

The interactivity of Blue Beacons can be toggled as well. Wireable objects like Blue Beacons can be activated/deactivated by players of all permission ranks, even by visitors, unless their interactivity is disabled (locked) for all players (even owners) with a Wiring Tool.

You can unlock the crafting recipe for Blue Beacons only by finding the according randomly appearing rare Recipe Page after killing a Thing or harvesting from a Thing Pet after taming it, or by discovering it in an Iron Treasure Chest that randomly spawns on Lava layer blocks in the dark, or in a Diamond Treasure Chest that randomly spawns on Corrupted Blocks in the dark.

To wire Blue Beacons, equip an Wiring Tool and point your cursor at a Blue Beacon that you have placed into the world. The "Receive" Hotspot will become visible then and you will be able to connect it to the "Send" Hotspot of activation devices and/or of operating gates. Blue Beacons do not have a "Send" Hotspot themselves, so they cannot be used as activation devices.

The padlock symbol lets you define the minimum permission rank for your Blue Beacon that players will need to match or outrank in order to be able to see and change the settings of the Blue Beacons with their own Wiring Tool.

Using this same settings window by typing "n" (as the default key) while having an Wiring Tool equipped and pointing the cursor at the Beacon, you can also rename your Blue Beacon by typing any description into the labelling array (up to 30 characters).

This is because parking demand on a public holiday is usually quite different to the day of the week when the condition is designed to apply.

For example, you can park in a Permit Zone that specifies Area 1a on the sign if you display a valid Area 1a Resident Parking Permit.

Please note that the Blue Beacon is no light source per se. It will not illuminate its surrounding and such also will not prevent Creatures nor randomly appearing Treasure Chests from spawning close by.

Stop by one of our visitor centres or look for one of our city ambassadors for advice on things to do, places to eat, or the best attractions to visit.

When raising the permission level of Blue Beacons with the padlock symbol, only the owner and players with an even higher permission rank can then use Wiring Tools to change their settings (including "can interact") so they can switch the Blue Beacons on/off directly, or even take them.

For this purpose you can lock your Blue Beacons by disabling the option "can interact" when looking at the Blue Beacon and typing "n" (as the default key) with an Wiring Tool equipped.

Make sure that another restriction, such as ‘Bus Zone – all other times’, won’t come into effect during the time you intend to park.

When this occurs, Melbourne City Council has decided to apply public holiday parking rules on the public holiday and the day in lieu.

We’re delivering our Parking and Kerbside Management Plan. That means we’re reviewing and revising the parking in all neighbourhoods across the City of Melbourne to make parking simpler and fairer. Improvements include cheaper rates for off-peak times and free parking for short stops under 15 minutes with the EasyPark app.

Different from Death Statues, the light of a beacon does not shine upwards and downwards at the same time, but is only sent out in one direction. This light does not illuminate its surrounding and such won't hinder Creatures nor randomly appearing Treasure Chests from spawning under otherwise fitting conditions.

The thick beam of blue light is able to reach from the bottom of the world (altitude 0,6 on the Corruption layer) to the very top (even optically appearing to extend way above 255,6 altitude high up in the sky, while 254,6 is the highest block to stand on) or sideways up to the length of ca. 146-196 blocks. The beam can exceed this length optically if you look at it while standing within this range.

Already crafted Blue Beacons cannot be obtained from any Creatures nor can they be found in any randomly spawning Treasure Chests.

Now other players cannot switch on or off your Blue Beacons, but only if their permission rank is lower than the minimum permission level of the Blue Beacons. If they are either builders on your player claim or on the game world if the Blue Beacons are not placed on a claim, then other players might not only activate/deactivate the Blue Beacons, but even pick them up and take them away.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

Blue Beacons can be rotated into all directions by pressing and holding R and then pointing the mouse cursor at the block and moving the mouse while holding the left mouse button.
