What I expected to happen was when I created a pyramid of diamond blocks four layers high I would have the option to select one of the 6 status effects or the option to get an upgrade for one of the effects.

What actually happened was when I placed the beacon and right clicked on it the GUI popped up and the only options were Haste, Haste II, Speed and Speed II, nothing else. The first screen shot is that of a beacon on top of a pyramid with two layers, the next three are that of one with four layers. Either way I get the same result and the last three are just to show that I know how the build the correct pyramid structure.

1. Create a pyramid of Diamond, Gold, Iron or Emerald blocks with any number of layers.
2. Place a beacon on top like you usually would.
3. Open up the GUI.
