When sand fall it has the wrong texture. It's the same thing for gravel.

I'm not sure if this was fixed in 14w28b but it certainly still doesn't work in 14w29(a/b). Issue is exactly the same.
I cannot reproduce in 14w29b, but I don't believe I ever experienced it. Can you provide some computer specs, particularly information about your graphics card? A manually triggered crash report? Hold F3 + C for 10 seconds while in-game, then attach it to the ticket ([minecraft|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt).
Here's the crash report.
PC specs:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor ~2.7GHz (6-core)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1
Java: Version 7 update 60 (64-bit)
I can't reproduce that in 14w29b with gravel and sand. Did you do that with another block ? Or with a /summon command ?
With the summon command. Specifically when trying to spawn it with its block as water. Unless this is something that is now not possible? /summon FallingSand ~ ~1 ~ {Block:water,Time:1,DropItem:0,Motion:[0.0,0.5,0.5]}
@@unknown: MC-28469 might have something to do with that, going by the reporter's comments. It could be because the texture for water (and lava) has different dimensions than other textures, and it may not map properly onto falling blocks. Not sure how it worked before, and I think water and lava still have some special cases that aren't exposed to resource packs. Same with falling blocks.
If it's any help, this video shows what I was trying to recreate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVX2sg5u9UA I would assume that it's not working due to the block model and block data changes that have been going on. Here is my original bug report that got linked to this one. https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-60440
I also noticed a bug that may be related : when you light up TNT (either with flint and steel or redstone) it does not explode after the usual 4 seconds : it only disappears and the explosion occurs about 4 more seconds after the disappearance.
Interestingly enough, the explosion of a TNT block triggered by another explosion is unaffected.
EDIT : It's open as MC-59904
