Beacon light does not travel through water

I was building a block pyramid for my beacon, and when i placed the beacon, the beam wouldn't shoot out. i tried placing a diamond in the beacon, but nothing would work.

P.S. Would it be affected because i'm right underneath the spawn point?

From what I have read and the little playing around with the beacon block, from what I can assert, the beacon block must have a clear path to the sky.

Please edit your summary to something more descriptive. "Beacon block" in itself is not a bug, you may want to change it to something like "Beacon does not work under water" if you believe that is the bug.

It needs a clear path to the sky to function.

[It would appear|MC-20310] that a lava source block qualifies as "a clear path to the sky". Is that intentional?

Fixed in 14w31b 🙂
