When is a block updated and random tick info

[Fowlron]

Hey there

When is a block updated? More specifically, when are methods like getCollisionBoundingBoxFromPool, and others be called again during gameplay?

Do they get called on the random ticks from "setTickRandomly(true)"?

If not, can I force the game to update by calling something from update tick?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Edit:

I do know now that they do get called from the random ticks. But the rest is still on.

Have you tried using them and putting a put of logging to see what happens? If not, why not?
