[MC-12104] Falling block entities can't have a block texture that's not sand or gravel in 1.5

Any falling block entity in 1.5 can't have another block's texture. This breaks a lot of things, like 3D animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl1KRMMm8y0

All of the moving blocks here would look like sand in 1.5, and it's not fun. I've included 2 screenshots, the first in 1.4.7, and the second in 1.5

This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modded or 3rd party client/server.

Any non-standard client/server build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the plugin creator.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded MineCraft.

All I've used here is MCEdit, but in-game, I haven't used any mods. Does this still count as "modded" minecraft? I'd just like to know for future bug reports I make.

As seen in your screenshot, you use OptiFine, and that counts as modding.

oops. Didn't notice. I've since tested it in vanilla minecraft, and It's still an issue. D: I'll update the screenshot.
