Beacher

Quickstart

1. Get a Beacher Spawn Egg from your Creative inventory (search "Beacher") or find one naturally on sandy beach shores, where it wanders in small groups.
2. Use the spawn egg on the ground to bring a Beacher into the world.
3. Feed it Torchflower Seeds to tame its trust, heal it, and encourage breeding.
4. Stand back and let it work — Beacher will automatically sniff out and attack nearby hostile mobs (monsters) for you.
5. Leash it with a lead to bring it along, or let it roam and defend your camp.

Overview

Beacher is a friendly, sniffer-like companion mob that lives on beaches and actively hunts down hostile creatures on your behalf. Unlike a normal passive sniffer, this one is a capable fighter — think of it as a big, loyal guard dog that digs and sniffs around while also charging into nearby monsters.

What It Adds

• Beacher — a large, tame-friendly creature resembling a sniffer, found along beach biomes (including cold beaches).
• Beacher Spawn Egg — lets you place a Beacher anywhere in Creative Mode.
• Beach-themed spawning behavior, breeding, aging, and combat AI focused on protecting players from hostile mobs.

How To Use

• Spawning naturally: Beacher spawns on the surface of beach biomes in small herds (1–2 on warm beaches, solo on cold beaches), typically in daylight or well-lit conditions.
• Spawning with the egg: Use the Beacher Spawn Egg on any block to summon one directly.
• Feeding: Torchflower Seeds are the key item for this mob — they heal it, entice it to follow you (temptation behavior), and are used to breed two adults together.
• Leashing: Beacher can be leashed like other passive mobs, including special leash behavior when paired with a Happy Ghast.
• Naming: You can rename a Beacher using a name tag.
• Interacting: Right-click/interact with a Beacher to engage with it directly (feeding, leashing, etc.).

Abilities And Mechanics

• Hostile mob hunter: Beacher actively seeks out and attacks nearby monsters within a fairly long detection range, chasing and melee-attacking them until they're defeated.
• Sturdy fighter: With 50 health and a solid melee attack, Beacher can take on tougher hostile mobs and survive extended fights.
• Sniffer-like behavior: Retains classic sniffer animations and actions — sniffing, digging, searching, standing up, and showing happiness — giving it a lot of personality while it patrols.
• Panic and self-preservation: Beacher flees and panics when hurt or endangered (such as being near lava, which damages it over time), and can swim, float, and climb to navigate terrain.
• Breeding and growth: Two adult Beachers fed Torchflower Seeds can breed, producing a baby that grows into an adult over time. Feeding babies Torchflower Seeds speeds up their growth.
• Rewards: Breeding and defeating hostile mobs near a Beacher can grant the player experience.

Progression And Strategy

• Keep a small herd of Beachers near your base or farm as passive guardians — their long detection range and aggressive targeting of monsters make them effective at clearing out nighttime threats.
• Breed multiple Beachers using Torchflower Seeds to build up a defensive "pack" over time.
• Leash a Beacher to escort it between locations, or let it roam a beach area to keep it clear of hostile spawns.
• When defeated, Beacher drops useful loot such as moss blocks, bones, rotten flesh, and occasionally torchflower seeds or emeralds — so it's still valuable even if lost in the wild.
• Avoid leading your Beacher near lava, as it will take continuous damage there.
