Not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure all non-passive mobs will de-spawn if you're out side of the render distance. So I'd say it works as intended.
@Brandon For example say the normal render distance loaded a radius of 5 chunks and the beacon was located 5 chunks away from where you are currently located. Now, if you would change your render distance to low, lets just say low renders only 2 chunks away, you would no longer see the beacon beam.
Now that I re-read the OP's post, I'm not sure if I'm understanding what the problem is either :S... But what I said above, still happens to me.
Maybe try updating java?
I would consider this a bug even though it makes since that it gets unloaded. It worked in previous versions and now it doesn't. Also it would be extremely useful when exploring.
Ah, thanks Enri. I see that now. It was such a small change I didn't notice.
@Alexander Are you serious? Really? ...I looked at the pictures, didn't see a problem. Still don't. Are you referring to the arm not holding the bow sticking out? No where on this page did it mention how the arms were misplaced.
I don't understand the problem. He looks good to me...
Maybe post before pictures as well?
Nah, it works. You have to set your mac up to allow it.
apple button > system preferences > security and privacy > tick 'allow applications downloaded from anywhere'
works for me as well..
I've had this problem on my ubuntu laptop before, but I had always thought it was because of performance issues.
I feel like they'd need more information to get anything fixed.
What are your control settings on?
@Charlie I'm on a mac and have been on a pc server.
I haven't tried it with single player lan though, but I'd just thought I'd say that it does work with actual servers.
I might be able to test this later today.
I'm pretty sure spiders and zombie pig-men do this as well..
Sorry about that. I wasn't aware. I saw MCEdit and assumed it wasn't vinilla. Sorry.
I wouldn't call this a bug. I think it's intentional. What does minecraft have to work with if you give it nothing? Zero probably breaks the algorithm that's used to generate the world. I know nothing of algoritims or anything but.. Zero multiplied by anything is zero.
I'm pretty sure since this can't be created in vinilla minecraft only, it's not considered a bug here. Sorry.
This isn't the place for requests or problems you are having with minecraft unless it's a specific bug you are having in-game. Sign up to a minecraft forum and post there. Thanks.

Please search for a similar bug report before posting. I simply searched "ghost tnt" and found that it had already been reported.
