in pretty much every case, these usages really wanted to read the tag's contents anyway, which can be combined with a getTag() and instanceof call for more concise and static analysis friendly code.
In the few cases where the tag contents wasn't needed, it still wanted to check the type, which, again, can be done in a more static analysis friendly way by just using getTag() and instanceof.
I wonder if there's a way to generalise item consuming beyond just eating/drinking. Stuff like lava bucket in a furnace needs the same kind of "leftover" logic.
this commit removes the ability to replace centrally registered entity classes in favour of using constructors directly.
In future commits I may introduce a dedicated factory interface which allows an _actual_ factory pattern (e.g. factory->createArrow(world, pos, shooter, isCritical) with proper static analysability) but for now it's peripheral to my intended objective.
The purpose of this change is to facilitate untangling of NBT from entity constructors so that they can be properly created without using NBT at all, and instead use nice APIs.
Spawn eggs now support arbitrary entity creation functions like EntityFactory does, allowing much more flexibility in what can be passed to an entity's constructor (e.g. a Plugin reference can be injected by use()ing it in a closure or via traditional DI.
I'd like to have this directly provided to Furnace, but I don't know how to short of making into a singleton. Since I want to have per-furnace recipe managers (e.g. for stuff like blast furnace vs regular furnace etc), a singleton isn't really an option.
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.
