if not, this will cause random crashes in core code, which assumes that state IDs found on runtime chunk memory are valid and registered.
this problem exists in other places too, and probably requires a rethink of how we're dealing with this, but for now, this will do as a band-aid.
this has such a big impact on performance that I think this is warranted. Should also make it more obvious what the GC is doing without needing to enable ALL debug info.
these are noisy and cause conflicts. Since they also usually cause new errors to be reported, we often can't directly update it anyway. Better to test & update this locally.
this was causing TNT and falling blocks to briefly appear half a block lower than their true position, because their positions are measured from the center and not the base.
this command dumps a human-readable version of pmmp/mapping palette mapping files to a .txt file.
may be useful for debugging issues with the schema generator or the upgrade process.
there's no technical reason not to support this, since it doesn't violate any assumptions and the type returned is a base anyway.
this enables implementing stuff like snow cauldrons in a plugin, which previously would require reflection due to the minecraft:cauldron deserializer being registered already.
it also enables overriding IDs to map to custom blocks, which might be useful for overriding some functionality (although this is inadvisable - and won't alter the usage of stuff like VanillaBlocks::WHATEVER()).
we do *not* allow overriding serializers, since type IDs are expected to be paired to block implementations, and allowing them to be reassigned could lead to crashes if the new class was incorrect. So the correct approach for overriding nether portals would be to create a custom type ID as if you were adding a fully custom item. This will also allow other plugins to distinguish between your implementation and the built-in one.
