Falling chest not appearing until it hits the ground

Hello everyone! I was playing with FallingSand, I wanted a chest to fall from the sky.. I have this code:

PHP:

        p.getLocation()
                .getWorld()
                .spawnFallingBlock(p.getLocation().add(p.getLocation().getDirection()).add(0, 5, 0),
                        Material.CHEST, (byte)0);

But you see the blocks shadow, then the block appears on the ground. Is there a way to make it so you can see the chest fall?

 

@sgavster, idk, it might be that chests are just incompatible with those kinds of things.

 

@Tecno_Wizard Hmm.. That's weird.

 

@sgavster It's probably just some client glitch.

 

@nverdier Yeah.. Looks like I have to scratch this idea.. I can't even use one of those survival game crates. They no longer work ;/

 

@sgavster Survival game crates?

 

@nverdier Yeah, like a 6 sided piston

 

@sgavster Ah

 

try spawnNaturally or whatever and just make the y intercept higher? IDK ._. a guess.

 

@MajorSkillage spawnNaturally would be to drop an item, not spawn a falling sand, thanks though

 

Isn't FallingSand considered an Entity?

 

Yeah, but spawnNaturually would just drop an item, not a falling sand. I think

 

If you spawn it as a fallingsand block don't you need to set it's velocity or something?

 

@MajorSkillage You don't need to, you can just spawn it.

 

For your client, does it do this on any others servers with this feature? Try consider that and compare it to what they have done, all I can think of ._. sorry I can't be much help in this situation.
