this isn't practical to fully implement right now due to limitations
imposed by the legacy shitfest system we're using. To make stripped
dynamic, we would need to switch the IDs _and_ variant info dynamically,
and I have no idea what bizarre side effects that might have.
setRotation() is conditionally useless, but there's not much we can do about this right now; and exposing it like this is better than having plugins interacting with tiles.
this implementation is very rough due to having to hack around lots more MCPE bullshit, and currently doesn't allow dynamic coral types; but it's there. We'll clean this up after 1.13 migration is done.
mushroom stem (and all-sided stem) are unique blocks, which don't drop anything and which don't stack with other shroom variants when block-picked.
They also get mapped to the same block when placed, and there's no distinction between red mushroom stem and brown mushroom stem.
when using VanillaBlocks::CHISELED_QUARTZ(), VanillaBlocks::PURPUR_PILLAR() or VanillaBlocks::QUARTZ_PILLAR(), static analysis was unable to detect getAxis() and setAxis(), because these blocks were implemented using anonymous classes.
detector rail has fundamentally different functionality than activator and powered rails, so it's misleading to present the same APIs for both.
detector rail's 'powered' state is better referred to as 'activated', since it means the detector rail is actually _producing_ power, and not _receiving_ power.
originally I introduced this to make it easier to implement the various APIs addPattern removePattern etc, but those were later removed in favour of simple getPatterns() and setPatterns(), allowing plugin developers to use ext-ds APIs to manipulate patterns.
However, ds poses a number of headaches because of mutability combined with by-ref semantics, which make it a pain to use these on the APIs because we can't guarantee that they won't be modified.
As much as arrays suck, they have two significant advantages over ext-ds: 1) they have copy-on-write semantics, and 2) they support PHP 8.0 without any extra work from me.
