TileEntity read function not available [1.16.?], plus redstone deprecated

[jackokring]

I can't seem to find it. I found that handleUpdateTag has an extra parameter too.

 

Also many block methods to do with redstone are deprecated, and instancing blockstate is a factory so not suitable for overrides.

 

Is this "normal"? Is the intent to read via update tags and is a new mechanism for blockstate subclassing available?

Someone asks about this every week. If you are creating a subclass of block, the methods are safe to override. Deprecation means "do not invoke" as you are supposed to do that through the blockstate.

Do not subclass BlockState.

You can still override deprecated methods, it just tells you dont use it
