Of all the many adventure maps iv’e seen this is by far one of the best.
The introduction for the map is:

The beacon block
As of the newest update, the beacon block was added, and it is a real pain to get as well, for starters you will need a nether star which is obtained from killing a wither, so go on then.
This should only take an hour or so….
and once obtained you put the nether star in the centre of a crafting table with 5 glass and 3 obsidian, like so:
after that, you will get this odd-looking...

crownthebryan asked: if you add an extra layer off the end where one line is longer than the other, you get get more distance/power depending on your timing on pressing the second switch. Also try using one switch and a repeater to delay the second current enought to produce the canon effect
