[1.11.2] Easy way to get the full state of a block?

[Kander16]

Hi,

 

I want to now which is the best way to get the full state of a block. I have trouble with it because I have unlisted properties, listed properties are fine.

 

Thanks.

I want to check if a state exists in the guava cache, so that if it doesn't exist yet I can create a cache.

The unlisted properties aren't used in equals, so they won't be taken into account when using extended block states as keys for a cache. To get around this, make the keys of type

Pair<ImmutableMap<IProperty<?>,Comparable<?>>, ImmutableMap<IUnlistedProperty<?>,Optional<?>>>

which is the ugly parametrised type that represents

      Pair.of(state.getProperties, state.getUnlistedProperties()) 

This forces the unlisted properties to be taken into account when checking whether the state is already present in the cache. I use this approach in a model here if you want to see an example.
