the following things are currently not implemented:
- particle/sound effects when an entity extinguishes itself
- particle/sound effects when mixing different stuff in a cauldron
- powder snow cauldron
both of these things are contingent on #5169, but for the time being, the PR is functionally complete and I want to move on to something else without being stalled by the particle+sound problem (which I haven't yet decided how to solve).
these have working inventories, and their crafting menus will 'just work' once the items for the associated recipes have been implemented (maps, netherite).
the terminology of this needs improvement, but...
the basic concept here is that 'type' data will persist on an itemstack, while 'state' data will not.
Type data consists of things like:
- Colour
- Coral type
- Wet/dry (sponges)
- Live/dead (coral)
- Wood type
State data consists of things like:
- Facing
- Axis
- Powered/unpowered
- Open/closed
In the past, with the old system, this information was separated by way of getStateBitmask(). This solution was fraught with problems, but achieved the basic goal: removing unwanted block properties from items.
This commit completely revamps the way that blocks are represented in memory at runtime.
Instead of being represented by legacy Mojang block IDs and metadata, which are dated, limited and unchangeable, we now use custom PM block IDs, which are generated from VanillaBlocks.
This means we have full control of how they are assigned, which opens the doors to finally addressing inconsistencies like glazed terracotta, stripped logs handling, etc.
To represent state, BlockDataReader and BlockDataWriter have been introduced, and are used by blocks with state information to pack said information into a binary form that can be stored on a chunk at runtime.
Conceptually it's pretty similar to legacy metadata, but the actual format shares no resemblance whatsoever to legacy metadata, and is fully controlled by PM.
This means that the 'state data' may change in serialization format at any time, so it should **NOT** be stored on disk or in a config.
In the future, this will be improved using more auto-generated code and attributes, instead of hand-baked decodeState() and encodeState(). For now, this opens the gateway to a significant expansion of features.
It's not ideal, but it's a big step forwards.
this doesn't implement the server-side logic for the "stickiness" (slowdown) because we don't have the system needed for it yet.
It also doesn't have parity with vanilla on the damage.
this implementation is working, although incomplete:
- The shulker close sound should not be played until the end of the shulker closing animation, which takes approximately 1 second.
- An open shulker box has a different collision box than a closed one - it should be +0.5 in whichever direction the shulker is facing. (During the animation, the bounding box also dynamically changes size - you can see this in vanilla by shooting an arrow into the top of an open shulkerbox facing UP, and then closing it - the arrow will fall and collide with the lid multiple times.
However, resolving both of these issues requires significant internal changes which are beyond the scope of this PR.
