Falling sand with ID of water or lava does not render (the lava or water is still placed when the entity falls and we still can see the entity shadow).
Command used :
/summon FallingSand ~ ~2 ~2 {TileID:8,Time:1} (IDs 8, 9, 10 and 11 not rendering)
Replacing "TileID" by "Block" in the command does not solve the problem.
PS : After having seen the IDs were deprecated, I tried replacing the TileID:8 with TileID:minecraft:water.
But when I use the command with TileID:minecraft:water, it spawns a normal falling sand with ID of sand, that is not normal either (reported in another post : MC-100887).

Sorry, I had not seen that issue :/
If I understand it is intended ? So since 1.9 we cannot make falling sand fountains anymore ?

like @unknown said:
It doesn't work for the ones without blockmodels
water/lava has no block model files

I still find it's too bad, as it worked in 1.7 ^^
Anyway thank you for your response ! 🙂
