Use of beacons in this server?

I have seen some players use Beacon in the offhand and mine stuff but is that basically useless or does it do something else.

i reckon it has something to do with the island shards, when you do the command "/is show" you'll see it mentioning island shards, i think they'll mainly be used for island value, but this is just my speculations and I'm not sure of it at all.
