 Description   

The bug

An open beacon GUI does not update whenever beacon power level or active state changes.

How to reproduce

  1. Place this structure file in .minecraft\saves\<world_name>\generated\minecraft\structures.
  2. Go in that world and run:
    /setblock ~ ~ ~ structure_block{mode:"LOAD",name:"mc-1429",showboundingbox:1}
    
  3. Get an iron ingot, stand on the pressure plate and put the iron in the beacon.
    After the beacon is deactived, you can still select an effect

In 1.16.1 and 20w29a.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 22/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10.1.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 10/Jun/16 ]

I placed a beacon in 1.10 (just on normal ground) and quickly clicked on it. The GUI showed no choices (effects). Does that mean it's confirmed for 1.10?

Comment by [Mod] redstonehelper [ 17/Jan/16 ]

Oh, I misread the report. Reopening.

Comment by Marcono1234 [ 17/Jan/16 ]

Are you sure that this is WAI? The reason is apparently a different one as the GUI will never update until you reopen it.

Comment by [Mod] redstonehelper [ 17/Jan/16 ]

WAI, see MC-78446. Note that beacons now do power up straight away when placed.

Still a problem in 16w02a

Comment by Marcono1234 [ 18/Oct/15 ]

Confirmed for

  • 15w42a
Comment by Marcono1234 [ 05/May/15 ]

Confirmed for

  • 1.8.4
Comment by KingSupernova [ 07/Mar/15 ]

Confirmed in 1.8.3. Could someone update the description to something clearer, like "When beacon power level is changed, the GUI doesn't update until closed and reopened."?

Still in 1.8

Comment by Kevin Reid [ 26/Jul/14 ]

The described behavior still occurs in 14w30c.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 26/Jul/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w30c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 10/Mar/14 ]

Still a concern in 1.7.5 and 14w10c

Comment by James Macey [ 14/Jan/14 ]

The interface does not appear right regardless in 14w02c, even if you wait for beam to appear or replace the beacon. See bug

MC-44907

Comment by Kumasasa [ 29/Jan/13 ]

Yes, but before the beam kicks in there are the effects missing in the GUI.
The beacon block checks only every few seconds (I assume for performance reasions), if it is placed on a legit pyramid and what kind of pyramid, and depending on that result the icons for the effects are shown.

Possible fix: The beacon block should do an additional check for legit pyramid immideatly after placing.

Comment by Kevin Reid [ 29/Jan/13 ]

Could not reproduce in 13w04a creative or survival — as soon as I've placed a beacon, I can right-click it and get the GUI regardless of whether the beam is active or a pyramid is underneath.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 27/Jan/13 ]

Confirmed.
