Hidden Beacon beam, using Tinted Glass.

So i was thinking what if there was a way to hide the beacon beam. And then I tried put a Tinted glass on it to hide the light beam. Sense Tinted Glass dont let light through I thought it might make the beam invisible after that point.
But no... It just deactivate the beacon.

I think this is a missed oportunity.
Its a feature that people today use texturepacks to get around. But what if there was a way to do it in vanilla. Using Tinted Glass. :D
