- Method Detail
  - getBlockMetadata
```
int getBlockMetadata()
```
    Returns:
    
    An integer representing the metadata of this block. Blocks with different states will return different values. For example, each stage of growth for a wheat crop will return a different value, each orientation of a stair block will return a different value, etc.
  - getWorld
```
IWorld getWorld()
```
    Returns:
    
    The world this tile entity is in.
  - setWorld
```
void setWorld(IWorld world)
```
  - getMCTileEntity
```
net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity getMCTileEntity()
```
    Returns:
    
    An obfuscated MC tile entity object.
  - markDirty
```
void markDirty()
```
  - readFromNBT
```
void readFromNBT(INbt nbt)
```
    Reads an INbt compound tag, creates a tile entity based on the data, and replaces this entity with the new one.
  - getDistanceFrom
```
double getDistanceFrom(double x,
                       double y,
                       double z)
```
    Returns:
    
    The distance of this tile entity from the point given by the x, y, and z parameters.
  - getDistanceFrom
```
double getDistanceFrom(IPos pos)
```
  - getBlockType
```
IBlock getBlockType()
```
    Returns:
    
    A new IBlock object based on this tile entity's type.
  - isInvalid
```
boolean isInvalid()
```
    Returns:
    
    True if the tile entity is invalid, false otherwise.
  - invalidate
```
void invalidate()
```
    Invalidates the tile entity.
  - validate
```
void validate()
```
    Validates the tile entity for use.
  - updateContainingBlockInfo
```
void updateContainingBlockInfo()
```
    Updates the block's tile entity to the values set in this object.
  - getNBT
```
INbt getNBT()
```
    Writes the tile entity to NBT and returns the compound tag.
