Added API method Block::getSupportType(Facing) : SupportType
Added SupportType enum
fixes torch, lantern, door etc. placement on slabs and upside-down stairs
Not allowing this makes stuff like anvil damage, colour, wood type, live/dead bit, wet/dry etc all too much hassle to deal with.
Naturally I want to get rid of this shit altogether, but first it's necessary to construct a new system that we can shift into before all this bullshit can be addressed fully, so for now we have to work within the bounds of the old system.
This change will permit dynamic colours for concrete/concrete powder etc, dynamic wood types where the wood type isn't embedded in the legacy ID, and so forth. Allowing full flexibility requires either more old system hacks or completing the migration to a new system which doesn't have these limitations. I prefer to do the latter, but this change will make it somewhat easier to do.
this fixes TNT spawning multiple entities when lit by flaming arrows.
The problem here is a bit more complex (entities aren't immediately notified when local block updates happen, so they cache stuff that becomes unusable). The simplest option would be to just lose the cache, but that would have some impacts on performance.
Barring a rethink of the block updating mechanism, this solution seems usable for now.
this new form allows skipping some useless checks during sky light calculation and also allows getting rid of the last hard dependency on core Block classes.
We're getting real close to native light now.
Now, blocks do not respond to silk touch unless specifically opted into. Since this always involves custom drops in one way or another, it's easy enough to figure out which blocks need to be marked for silk touch - anything that overrides getDrops, getDropsForCompatibleTool or getSilkTouchDrops is a block which _might_ need to be flagged. Using these criteria to reduce the number of blocks needing to be checked, I was able to manually invert the behaviour as needed.
This fixes reoccurring bugs with blocks erroneously dropping themselves whenever new blocks are added and someone forgot to set that flag, granting players access to internal blocks with strange behaviour.
this prepares for a fully dynamic block mapper, as well as allowing a small performance improvement to chunk encoding by eliding the constant lazy-init checks.
