[1.12.1] getStateFromMeta and getActualState deprecated with no functional replacements?

[KittenKoder]

The two functions seem to have no replacements and the docs don't point to any. There are no tutorials that show any alternatives for 1.12, all current tutorials still use them. If they are not included, then block states don't work correctly, so am I missing something or are these deprecated just for the sake of deprecating things?

[Matryoshika]

They are not deprecated per sé, rather Mojang's devs stating "don't manually call these". They are just fine to override.
This only applies to the @Deprecated methods in the Block class, AFAIK.

Okay, thanks for the clarification, it seems that their use of deprecation is inappropriate then. Perhaps a sign of the influence Microsoft is having on the app, but regardless, that is not how deprecation is to be used.

This doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft. People need to stop blaming Microsoft for the things that happened after they bought Mojang.

We know, we don't like it either. But you'll have to get used to that.

It's a perfectly valid use for deprecated. Everyone has their own code styles. Java doesn't have a proper internal or overide only annotation. So this is what we have. Deal with it.

And even if it did (and somehow enforced it), IBlockState implementations are still allowed to call it.
