this parameter was previously used to send blocks with a different set of flags, immediately, to players. However, the flags have been demonstrated useless and the direct sending is pointless now since packets are buffered now per session, so we might as well take advantage of the batched block update sending.
This is a major change to the way block metadata is handled within the PM core. This separates variant metadata (which really ought to be part of the ID) from state metadata, and in a couple of cases flattens separate states of blocks together.
The result of this is that invalid variants can be much more easily detected, and additionally state handling is much cleaner since meta is only needed at the serialize layer instead of throughout the code.
This now computes BBs relative to 0,0,0 and then offsets them as appropriate. This requires less boilerplate code and also furthers the goal of separating block types from instances.
This allows the removal of lots of ugly code, and also exposes lots of similarities with how this update type was handled. This can be further improved in the future to more generically handle cases.
I realized in the process of changing this, that it might actually be simpler to treat to treat scheduled updates and neighbour updates as one and the same. They use the same mechanism for being saved on chunks (TileTicks),
and doing that would make updating only require one queue instead of two.
RedstoneOre: use onActivate() to trigger glowing
this is not technically correct behaviour, but this preserves the current behaviour.
* Removed broken EntityEatEvents - these don't fit the pattern since they only apply to Human entities anyway. PlayerItemConsumeEvent and PlayerInteractEvent can be used for cancellation purposes, and plugins can do custom stuff without mess.
* Restrict item consuming to Living entities only
* Added FoodSource->requiresHunger()
* Only items implementing the Consumable interface can now be consumed.
* The effects from consuming items are now generic-ized by way of the Living->consume() function. This is overridden in Human to allow applying food and hunger.
* Fixed the hardcoded mess for buckets
getDrops() should now be overridden only for special cases. There are some non-trivial overrides left that are going to need some extra work to clean up.
fixed cake flat-out doesn't work
fixed last slice of cake vanishing (NOOOOO)
fixed EntityEatBlockEvent not getting called
made AABB calculation less confusing
