How does one make a block that faces in the same direction as the player when placed? Also, how do I tell if said block is receiving Redstone power, and from what side? Lastly, how do I make a power provider?

So, if I find the right methods, I just need to override them in a class that extend block?

Can I just extend BlockRedstoneDiode? That's the most helpful for my scenario.

If you have a reason to extend the diode, sure.

Hi

 

You might find this example project useful

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample

see mbe03

 

There are also redstone power examples (mbe06) but not converted for 10.1.2 quite yet.

In the meantime, this link might help (for 1.8 but still the same for 1.10)
