Hey guys, I found this piece of code in the BlockTorch class:

    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state)
    {
        byte b0 = 0;
        int i;

        switch (BlockTorch.SwitchEnumFacing.FACING_LOOKUP[((EnumFacing)state.getValue(FACING)).ordinal()])
        {
            case 1:
                i = b0 | 1;
                break;
            case 2:
                i = b0 | 2;
                break;
            case 3:
                i = b0 | 3;
                break;
            case 4:
                i = b0 | 4;
                break;
            case 5:
            case 6:
            default:
                i = b0 | 5;
        }

        return i;
    }

Wouldn't this do the exact same thing as:

    public int getMetaFromState(IBlockState state)
    {
        return BlockTorch.SwitchEnumFacing.FACING_LOOKUP[((EnumFacing)state.getValue(FACING)).ordinal()]
    }

?

Then why is this so big?

Hi

 

Well actually I think it wouldn't do the same thing...

            case 5:

            case 6:

            default:

                i = b0 | 5;

 

But most of the time when you find code like this that looks a bit strange, it's been autogenerated by the decompiler and probably looks very different in the native code.
