[1.8] Replacement for world.getBlock() etc

[SamTebbs33]

I decided to start updating some of my code for the latest 1.8 release, and saw that a lot of the methods in the World class have been removed, such as getBlock() and getBlockMetadata(). What have they been replaced by?

Metadata system is changed to blockstates.

So to compare block: World#getBlockState(x, y, z).getBlock() == (Block instance)

To compare BlockState(block & metadata): World#getBlockState(x, y, z) == (BlockState instance)

Also you can get default state from getDefaultState();
