 Description   

It takes 5 seconds for the color of the beacon beam to change when placing a colored stained glass block over a beacon.

This is an even bigger problem for slower devices (Please see MCPE-23801)

Still affects 1.20.51, on Xbox One X.

Still happening on 1.17.10 on a Nintendo Switch Lite. The game seems to be updating beacon color about every 4-5 seconds.

I tried changing graphics settings, restarting the software, and moving the software from SD card to system memory. Nothing made a noticeable difference.

I haven't noticed any other comparable lag in other aspects of the game.

This is really annoying for beacon contraptions. And I think this should be a pretty easy fix. If this delay existed for performance concerns in early versions, may I point out that many red stone components works fine on 1tick bases. Please just fix it.

Still affects beta 1.16.200.52. This ruins all kinds of rainbow beacon contraptions

Also when you place a block, where the beacon beam can’t go through, it will not immediately vanish.

Also an issue in the Java edition: MC-127238

I can confirm. Realised something today and in think it might relate: If colored, the texture is stitched together

Actually it happens on high end devices too.

Comment by ibrahim [ 01/Aug/17 ]

it could just be your device might be slow
