Changing a blocks type without triggering a block update

hey is there a way to change a block type without triggering a block update. I dont really mind if it involves nms code because i can just use refelection to get to it.

 

block.setTypeIdAndData(id (int), data (byte), applyPhysics(boolean));

If the last variable if false it won't update the block of the blocks around it.

 

cheers! i will try it out

Damn, seems like it doesnt want to work, if it makes it clearer what i am trying to do, i am trying to change a redstone torch on to redstone torch off but it almost immediately returns to on state

Try using a BlockRedstoneEvent, I know that fires for redstone lamps so I would assume it would fire for redstone torches as well.

 

yeah thats what i was using before but it was just very glitchy
