MC-199593falling_block entity doesn't destroy water sources along its fall path
The Bug
I don't know if this is intentional or not. When you place a sand block in water, so it does falls directly, only the place where you placed the block and where it ends aren't anymore water sources. I would expect that all blocks the water sources would be destroyed on the path of the falling block.
How to reproduce
- Build a 1-block wide column of blocks, 3 blocks tall or more
- Place water sources all along one side of the column
- Place a sand block inside the top water source and watch it fall through the water
→
Notice the water sources it falls through don't get deleted like the top one does
Expected behaviour:
All water sources the falling block falls through get deleted

Can confirm, although this seems intentional. Also affects 21w03a.
While the sand is falling, it is not a block anymore and not replacing water source blocks.
Video attached.
I've expanded upon the description a bit to include more info, eventhough I think this is probably WAI
Expecting it to remove water = expecting it to remove all non-solid blocks in its path.
How does this not constitute a change request though? Falling blocks have never done this, and are entities, not blocks; no entities break blocks just by existing. (Ravagers can with an attack, falling blocks don't attack, they just exist/fall.)
