I was playing survival after updating when I placed a 4 layered beacon with Diamond blocks for the bottom middle and top layers. When I right clicked the beacon I selected Jump speed II as my powerup and inserted a diamond. The beacon then gave me speed I instead of speed II and did not give me the regeneration effect. Finding this odd I tried each of the other powerups and none of them were able to provide anything other than a level 1 powerup. I was expecting the beacon to give me speed II and regeneration because it was what I had selected. The beacon gave me speed I only and didn't give me regeneration Steps to reproduce: |

OOH, so tier 2 effects count as secondaries now. Thank you for clearing that up. |

Always worked like that: 1. Right click beacon. 2. Select primary power (e.g. speed). 3. Select secondary power (here: Regeneration OR speed II). 4. Put in 1 diamond OR emerald OR gold ingot OR iron ingot. 5. Click done. 6. Wait 5 seconds for beacon to activate. |

Do you need to select the secondary? In past versions all you had to do was select the primary and the secondary would be automatic because it's the only secondary ability. You CAN get the regeneration effect at the moment, but it requires an entirely separate beacon, as a secondary power regeneration isn't supposed to take an entire beacon, but rather come with the primary. The biggest problem in my mind however is that we still cannot get tier 2 abilities. I have now tried with 4 layers and just to be safe 5 layers as well and tier 2 abilities still could not be obtained. |

Unable to reproduce, are you sure you have selected the secondary power after selecting the primary one? |

Tested it and even with 4 layers tier II effects still cannot be acheived with beacons created after the update. |

To get the tear II effects the pyramid needs to be consisting of 4 layers: 3*3, 5*5, 7*7 and 9*9 |
