[MC-2072] Beacon beam doesn't rotate properly on Multiplayer

So, when I place a Beacon block with pyramid under it, the beam should appear, on single player there's no problem, but on multi player that beam doesn't rotate.

What I expected to happen was...:
the beam will rotate.

What actually happened was...:
the beam doesn't rotate.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Join to multiplayer server
2. Put beacon block with pyramid somewhere
3. Activate it.

Perhaps that's a Bukkit related bug. Does the server you joined use Bukkit?
Have you tried with a Mojang “official” Minecraft server?

Most probably caused by lag.
Beacon Beam rotates on the servers I play on.

Beacon works fine on my server. If the beam isn't showing, perhaps there is a block above it.

It's only on big servers. it's server-side rotation I think.

The rotation is compute from world time, in multiplayer, this is send by the server...
