Which beacon effect is the most useful for fending off raids? [closed]

Solution 1:

Given your options:

  • Speed: You can easily outrun a ravager chasing after you, and also use strength to kill it with a bow.
  • Haste: It is used to mine blocks faster, not for attacking mobs. This option is not really for raids.
  • Strength: By far the most necessary. It helps destroy all mobs, either melee or projectile damage being used.
  • Regeneration: It could be used to help get your health back whilst backing off, unless you have a sufficient amount of food to keep you alive (suggesting cooked porkchop or beef), this option can be used.
  • Jump Boost: Not really an option, but if you were to get rid of ravagers, use a subtle amount of jump boost, get on a roof and snipe them.
  • Resistance: Similar to regeneration, but more effective. If you are too weak (even with strength), you can use this effect to fight a bit more longer.

If you don't have a beacon though and still can't make potions, stack up on cooked food and wear armor (either diamond or netherite) to win the raid faster, even without effects (unless a witch comes and hits you with poison).
