Timedeo trying to break a barrier block

**The Great Beacon Heist** was an operation started by Timedeo where he attempted to steal a "free" beacon block that was located at the Northern End Portal. He used several methods on breaking the barrier block ontop of the beacon block.

## **History**

Prior towards the moon landing, a beacon was discovered at the portal. Discovering this, Timedeo decided to steal the beacon block after the landing was successful. Shortly after the success of the landing, he returned back to Earth and decided to steal the beacon block using various methods of breaking the barrier block.

## **Heist**

His first attempt was to break the beacon block with a pickaxe but soon realized that it was protected by a barrier block. Realizing this, he tried going underneath, only to discover the beacon encased in bedrock. His second attempt was to use a pearl glitch which failed as well, resulting in his death.

Following this, he researched various tnt methods to break the iron and Beacon blocks. He tested these various methods on a single player world prior to utilizing these methods live.

The first method of the tnt strategies was to use a minecart with tnt and letting it ride down the rails to explode the barrier block (This method worked on his survival world) but it did nothing except break the cobblestone surrounding him.

The second method of the tnt strategies was to directly place tnt next to the beacon to explode it. He used this method due to realizing that on a survival world, the tnt would go past the barrier block and break the beacon block. However, this method would ultimately fail as the beacon was protected by WorldGuard.

His usage of these methods alerted Technoblade who was watching his stream. This caused him to log on to confront Timedeo. The confrontation started a war on landclaiming where Techno claimed the safezone in order to deal damage to TimeDeo. The pig claimed that he just wanted to test some "damage." Eventually, they both agreed to work on the beacon heist. TimeDeo's chat commented that Techno was trapped in the building surrounding the beacon (land protection) and was vulnerable. He did not pursue such intentions but noted this on his stream. Eventually, Techon got bored and left.

He researched one final (very long and difficult) method on breaking the barrier block. This took over 2 hours to complete as he had to encase the beacon area to distort the water. This method required slime blocks, several pistons, rails, and redstone in order to "delete" the block. After finishing procedures, he finally broke the barrier block only to find that the beacon block was unbreakable.

Feeling defeated, he contacted a Chip about compensation for his hard work. Negotiations between the two quickly broke down and ended with Chip returning to play bedwars. Infuriated at this, Timedeo brought lukeorsomething to destroy the Beacon since "If he couldn't have the block, no one can" and used his method of breaking the barrier block on the beacon block, breaking it.

Realizing the worldguard system, he placed a sign in place of the beacon to signify his victory over Chip's effort to make the beacon block available to all users. He placed a sign saying "Timdeo 1 Chip 0
