SpawnFallingBlock Deprecated?

So in the latest beta build of CraftBukkit (1.7.9-R.01), spawnFallingBlock is deprecated. Does anyone know why it's now deprecated (it wasn't in the 1.7.2 build), or better yet - an alternative method?

Thanks a lot.

Doesn't mean it doesn't work.

 

Yeah I get that, I just wondered why it's deprecated since there's probably a "better" alternative now.

 

Hi.

Sorry to bump a 5-6 months old thread for that, but I would be glad to know the new way of spawning falling blocks.

I tried to spawn an entity, with EntityType.FALLING_BLOCK, which kinda works, but, being a java beginner, I have no clue on how to change the block type...

I know, spawnFallingBlocks works, but it's the only line in my code which is "dirty", I would love to keep it suppresswarning-free, and, better, futureproof.
