[1.10.2] onNeighborChange behaving differently than I expect

[Arphahat]

I made a new block and I want to detect when a change is made next to it. However, the onNeighborChange() is not being triggered when blocks are added or removed next or on the block, nor is it triggering on fire being added. It does trigger when a chest is placed next to it, however. Any ideas on either how to get onNeighborChange() to trigger properly or if there is a different function I want to be using?  Thanks.

Thanks! Where can I find the Javadocs? That would help a bunch, I think.

 

Also, I neighborChanged is listed as deprecated, which to me implies that there is supposed to be some other way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I'll go ahead with using it, but I just wonder why.  Thanks.
