 Description   

If you look at a beacon that is placed next to other blocks, the sides of the diamond block that are adjacent to other blocks disappear.

Also placing a solid block above the beacon creates a texture bug at the obsidian part of the beacon.

@Grum:
Thanks for fixing that
Yep, that "pile of tickets" still contains a lot of old issues with textures/graphics/rendering. MC-9553 for example is one of the most annoying ones (and about to reach the top 10 of the popular issues list), another one which bothers me is MC-7486 (not really visible with default textures, but indeed visible in many texturepacks). MC-190 was even community-fixed, so this one shouldn't be a lot of work.

Fixed. Sadly tickets like these get lost in the 'pile of tickets'.

Found it now!

Comment by _zombiehunter [ 17/Jun/13 ]

Confirmed for 13w25a/b/c !

I also think this is a good glitch that needs to be fixed put I found out in multiplayer if you but Beacons Anvils Chests Fences Heads Signs Glass Slabs or Cobwebs above beacons they wont have a glitch effect cause they I believe are un-solid blocks so this is a way to fix that if your making something and also Leaves sadly do not work with that.

Comment by MegaScience [ 14/Jun/13 ]

Hmm, surprised this still exists. Definitely has to do with everything on each side being classed as the side, so it takes away the glass layer on the side, but also that side on the inside parts. I could see some attribute added where it is like "This part should never be hidden unless completely surrounded" or something, but that doesn't sound too easy to set up nicely. Possible, just... yeah.

Comment by Ryan Leach [ 20/Mar/13 ]

No. its because the same rendering code for blocks is being used for the beacon.
the diamond block in the centre either needs to be rendered manually, or the code for rendering blocks needs a way to override whether it renders sides of blocks against solid blocks.

Comment by adam giraudet [ 15/Jan/13 ]

ah I see thanks it happens. maybe its because its 3D (internal diamond external glass) unlike other blocks

Comment by Kumasasa [ 15/Jan/13 ]

Place a solid block besides or ontop the beacon. In your screenshot there are two beacons besides - both are transparent

Comment by adam giraudet [ 15/Jan/13 ]

theres nothing wrong with this? I think.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 13/Jan/13 ]

@adam: can confirm in 13w02b, please attach screenshot of your setup

Comment by adam giraudet [ 13/Jan/13 ]

?! I tested it. Both blocks were fine.

Comment by Meta [ 12/Jan/13 ]

@adam: No, it's not (see screenshot-2.jpg)

Comment by adam giraudet [ 12/Jan/13 ]

fixed in 13wsnapshot due to different texture system

Comment by Meta [ 28/Dec/12 ]

same for me in 1.4.7

Comment by Tails [ 12/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed in 12w49a and added the texture bug from MC-3908.

Comment by Nerdyboy6057 [ 11/Dec/12 ]

This happens because Minecraft is only rendering visible geometry, when the side of a block is covered it doesn't actually render that side of the block anymore because you can't see it.

Comment by Ryan Madsen [ 10/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed to reoccur in snapshot 12w49a. Also, update this to work with only opaque full-sized blocks.

Related to MC-86
Fixed in future version.
