Good Ideas Bin

Get rid of Portal Ticking Gold Farms
- Suggested by Slack and Foxy

Beacons have secondary potion effect
The top layer (9x9) block type determines the strength of the effect.
E.g. Iron = Haste I, Gold = Haste II, Diamond = Haste III, Netherite = Haste IV
The bottom layers determine horizontal range
Instead of the current icons in the beacon UI, we have two slots.
The first for an item that determines the beacon effect. For example a pickaxe in the slot would give haste.
The second for a potion bottle that gives the secondary potion effect. For example a night vision potion would give you night vision in the range of the beacon.
- Suggested by Slack and Foxy
