[1.7.10] Trying to set java block down -> java does not flow

[McJty]

Hi, on the server side I'm trying to put down a lava block like this:

 

world.setBlock(x, y, z, Blocks.lava, 0, 3);

 

The 3 should ensure it is propagated to the clients and that a block update happens.

 

Nevertheless, the lava doesn't start flowing. It is simply the single lava source block. It only starts to flow as soon as I put another block next to it.

 

Any ideas what I need to do to get the lava to flow?

Try

world.markBlockForUpdate(x, y, z)

after setting the block.

Doesn't help. The lava is not flowing:

Then try using

notifyBlocksOfNeighborChange(x, y, z, Blocks.lava)

as well.

I solved it thanks to advice on irc. Apparently I need to use Blocks.flowing_java instead of Blocks.java.

Man, I keep reading this thread and thinking "Why coffee?"
