 Description   

My beacon on my Minecraft server recently just completely stopped working. One day it was working fine and then the next it isn't giving any power out and won't let me choose any of the powers.

I have checked the Wiki and everything and the beacon is set up exactly how it should be I even changed my texture pack to make sure it wasn't that effecting it, logged out of the server, restarted the server, destroyed the beacon and replaced it with a new one. Nothing seems to work at all.

I had it giving me Haste 2 but now it gives me nothing. If any other information such as screenshots or even videos are needed to help I can provide them and even access to the server to check it yourself.

It was a strange one to be sure. Will resolve as Cannot Reproduce.

So the issue seemed to be either the glass block at the very top of my pyramid of both the block and the enchanting table. After rebooting the server it still seems to be working though so the answer to the whole thing is...Minecraft XD

Removing and replacing the glass block way above it fixed it. Strange behaviour.

Let me know if he can't fix it, mine still seems to be working fine. The enchanting table may be the culprit, but if you need any help my username is Professor_Shroom.

[Edit]-Tested the enchanting table over one in my own world, and it continued to operate. It would be greatly appreciated if you could shortly whitelist me so that I can further analyze the problem.

46.105.251.40:25565 I whitelisted you so you should be able to get on

Sure thing. Names "Chalmes"

Perhaps maybe I could add you to the server whitelist for a short time so you can look at it yourself? I have asked other users to check it and it fails to work for them as well.

It won't allow me to select the power I want though that is the issue I can put a tribute in and even then it won't allow it. The thing is this exact same setup worked perfectly fine 2 days ago then yesterday it stopped working.

Comment by Chalmes (Jon) [ 29/Oct/12 ]

And you're definitely selecting the power you want, and then paying an ore to it to activate it? I've recreated as per my attached screenshot and it all works as expected.

Well here is a few screenshots

A screenshot of the setup would be good.

The Enchanting Table is a transparent block and the beam of light goes through it. My issue is that the powers won't work even though the beam of light is on and the pyramid is perfect.

Comment by S [ 29/Oct/12 ]

There can only be transparent blocks above it, I think. I know glass for sure.

Enchanting table above the beacon? So it's blocking it?
