Black Beacons Still Work in 1.7.4

Just a quick demonstration of black coloured beacons still working in 1.7.4, only downside being that you can't have it solid black in that it has to pulse. This is because to do it you have to surround the beacon with solid blocks and cover it with a solid block. Though 4 seconds later the becaon will turn off since it is cover. Though if you time it you can have it pulse between black and white. I didn't have time to test this but if you timed it very well it should be possible to have it black for 3.9 seconds with .1 seconds white when the beacon checks.

Addendum for a beacon that says black 36/40 ticks:
