This has the triple bonus effect of a) making a lot of code easier to read, b) reducing Server::getInstance() usages, and c) removing a whole bunch of Server dependencies.
The network and block namespaces are untouched by this commit due to potential for merge conflicts. These should be dealt with separately on master.
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.
* 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
the count parameter is useless since Item ctor should now only be used for constructing item _types_, not actual items. All item creations for inventories etc, should go through the ItemFactory.
