VehicleBlockCollisionEvent not working

[AoElite]

Expected behavior

VehicleBlockCollisionEvent should fire when colliding with a block in a vehicle such as a boat.

Observed/Actual behavior

VehicleBlockCollisionEvent does not fire when colliding with a block in a vehicle.

Steps/models to reproduce

 //yes the class is a listener and registered
 @EventHandler
    public void onVehicleCollision(VehicleBlockCollisionEvent event) {
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        block.setType(Material.AIR);
    }

Get in a boat and run into a block. It should turn into air but it doesn't.

According to that it's been broke for years. I'd also like to mention the VehicleEntityCollisionEvent is also jank. It works like 25% of the time.

yeah i tested this yesterday... with Striders run a few times and the most cases the collition block is "LAVA".. like in the JIRA report maybe its better deprecate the event.. or make a rework.

This appears to be the same problem as #4163
