[MC-1429] When beacon power level is changed, the GUI doesn't update until closed and reopened

The bug

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

How to reproduce

Place

[media]

structure file in .minecraft\saves\<world_name>\generated\minecraft\structures.

Go in that world and run:

/setblock ~ ~ ~ structure_block{mode:"LOAD",name:"mc-1429",showboundingbox:1}

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

Confirmed.

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.

kumasasa 2013-01-29T07:06:05Z

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.

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

Still a concern in 1.7.5 and 14w10c

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.

migrated 2014-07-26T19:29:43Z

The described behavior still occurs in 14w30c.

Still in 1.8

migrated 2015-03-07T20:52:47Z

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."?

Confirmed for

1.8.4

Still a problem in 16w02a

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

marcono1234 2016-01-17T21:41:53Z

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

Oh, I misread the report. Reopening.

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?

FaRo1 2016-06-22T21:26:44Z

Confirmed for 1.10.1.

pulpetti 2020-07-16T20:10:09Z

In 1.16.1 and 20w29a.
