This has several advantages:
Easier to implement new blocks (one less file to modify)
Easier to adjust serialization of existing blocks
Guaranteed consistency between serializers and deserializers
Potentially, exposes more metadata for programmatic analysis, instead of having everything baked inside opaque Closures
There are some exceptions which still use the old approach: big dripleaf, cauldrons, mushroom stems, and pitcher crops. These all have multiple PM block types for a single ID, with relatively complex logic to select which to use. These weren't worth the effort to unify due to their small number. I may revisit this in the future, but I already spent a lot of brainpower on it.
in the future we should be able to unify these, similarly to simple mappings.
unifying blocks with states will, however, be considerably more work.
only color benefits from this so far
PlayerRespawnAnchorUseEvent is also added with options SET_SPAWN and EXPLODE, which allows plugins to customise the outcome of using the anchor in PM, which currently doesn't support dimensions. The event is also cancellable.
* Bedrock 1.21.80 support
* Update bedrock-data
* Add required tags to models
* Fixed biome data loading
* Support newest world format
apparently I messed up the blockstate data version last time around... it hasn't changed since 1.21.60
* always CS has to complain...
* Sync with release versions
* Ready 5.28.0 release
* this might help...

I want to do the same for items, but items are going to be a pain in the ass.
For items there are multiple possible entry points and all of them will need to be checked:
- dropped items
- inventory contents
- lecterns
- item frames
I don't see a good way to deal with all these. We can't check for registration in the constructor
because we need to fully construct the item in order to register it.
Blocks are also a potential issue in other areas, but setBlock() is definitely the biggest offender.
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.
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.
Added the following new blocks:
- All types of Copper Bulb
- All types of Copper Door
- All types of Copper Trapdoor
- All types of Chiseled Copper
- All types of Copper Grate
