What is the easiest way to get BlockState from an ID and Data? I *only* have an ID and data value. Both integers.

 

Previously I was doing this:

    IBlockState bState = (IBlockState) GameData.getBlockStateIDMap().getByValue(minecraftBlockId);
    Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld.setBlockState(loc, bState);

 

Unfortunately GameData.getBlockStateIDMap() came with the following warning:

    //Internal: DO NOT USE, will change without warning.
    public static ClearableObjectIntIdentityMap<IBlockState> getBlockStateIDMap()
    {
        return BLOCKSTATE_TO_ID;
    }

 

And of course, true to its word this approach broke in 1.8.9. What is the approach I'm supposed to take? This is driving me nuts. It feels like I want to do something very simple but there's no obvious interface to do it.

Block.getBlockById

returns the

Block

with the specified numeric ID and

Block#getStateFromMeta

returns the

IBlockState

for the specified metadata.

Block.getStateById

takes a state ID and uses the other two methods to return the corresponding

IBlockState

.

 

Keep in mind that numeric IDs for

Block

s and

Item

s are per-world, so a

Block

/

Item

won't have the same ID in every world.

 

You should really avoid using numeric IDs/metadata where possible.
