Blocks & Decoration Toggle Teleporter Blink/Glow.

So here's a fun little thing. Please do correct me if there's a better way to do this. I didn't see anything about it the Wiki about it, so here I am.

I'm making a series of tiny, tiny adventure maps. They involve hiding teleporters behind very dark brick walls. It's a literal switch hunt. You find the switch, and a wall opens up revealing a teleporter very hidden away.

The problem is, the Teleporter blinks yellow. No amount of Shadow Paint seems to solve the problem; the background and foreground is 100% Shadow Point for ten blocks in every direction. It still blinks constantly, illuminating the region and highlighting the fact that there is a teleporter there. I even hammered it down to a flat shape. It still blinks.

Is there anything we can do to stop it from blinking?

Yeah, this isn't happening before 1.3.1. X x, Oh well, thought I'd at least try. I'm honestly surprised more people haven't asked for this.

Surprised this hasn't seen much attention. It is rather limiting for things involving Teleporting.

Can't you just paint Teleporters?

I mean, you can paint teleporters. You can paint anything. But to quote my first post:

This is the first result when searching for a solution to this and while its not perfect, if you light the area, they dont blink.. This worked in my build but it feels limited for sure.
