Hey @jmadp, players can now place beacons in the world. Check out this link for more info, or check out boundlesscrafting.com to see how to make the items mentioned in that link.
Also, in case you’ve missed it, worlds will be going offline to make room for worlds with new resources sometime in the near future. So if you care about your build and want it to be around for a long time, perhaps put off your building plans until we get the new worlds. Just a fair warning!
