Spawning Falling Blocks

How can I spawn a flying cobblestone block when a player right clicks? I understand how to listen for PlayerInteract and then check if its a right-click, but I can't figure out how to create a cobble block specific. There are tutorials on how to make the block you mine specifically fly, but you can do event.getBlock() for those whereas I need the same block everytime. Something like Material.COBBLESTONE.getData() doesnt work for the parameters.

 

@Awesom_AA I'd imagine you should do something like this:

Code:Java

// The location to spawn it at
Location location = ...;
 
// Spawn the falling block
FallingBlock block = location.getWorld().spawnFallingBlock(location, Material.COBBLESTONE.createBlockData());
 
// Send it flying using velocity
block.setVelocity(...);

 

Cool, the createBlockData was the method I was looking for

Edit: Sike, cant get it to work maybe because im using spigot 1.12? If I use Material.COBBLESTONE the method doesnt exist.
I also tried creating a material m and then creating data from that material but that doesnt seem to work either

 

@Awesom_AA Oh, BlockData doesn't yet exist in that version. I think you can use this instead:

Code:Java

// The location to spawn it at
Location location = ...;
 
// Spawn the falling block
FallingBlock block = location.getWorld().spawnFallingBlock(location, new MaterialData(Material.COBBLESTONE));
 
// Send it flying using velocity
block.setVelocity(...);
