[1.12] having a machine face you on placement

[quinn50]

Hello, I have been having issues trying get my machine to face the player on placement like many other mods, I've tried overriding methods found in the vanilla chest class file however 3/4 of the methods are 'Deprecated', and I was wondering if there is a new method to do this in 1.12?

Deprecated means "do not invoke" not "do not override." Just do what vanilla does.

Not always. Mojang has re-defined deprecated to mean this.

But really, deprecated means: Do not use this. Period.

Yes. Normally. But in the current environment, it doesn't because Mojang.

There are methods in Block that are deprecated by Forge, these are not to be used at all.

I presume all of those have javadoc that says, "use the XYZ sensitive version" on them?

In such cases I presume that I can read.
