I was placing some sandstone next to each other against a sponge pillar, and the blocks placed at the upper part becomes invisible except the fist block which is half invisible
I can reproduce it sometimes by pouring water in a 9 long channel with a sponge drop at the end (7+hole+sponges) as seen in the background in the image attached.
The blocks returns visible after relogging.
This is because it is a new blocks-empty chunk. Not because of sandstone.
