9 years ago I think my rationale was to make powerful Cython-exposed functions so we wouldn't get much of a performance hit by looking at individual blocks. Or something - it's been a while :-)
Implemented in trunk through XYProxy.get_type. Also, EMPTY_TYPE, WATER_TYPE, etc. have been exposed.
It seems as if a script is not able to access the type of a block. As far as I see it, a script is only able to access the blocks color tuple and check if the block is solid, what is: something else than empty. It may be useful for some scripts to access the block type (e.g. collision detection, as water is fluid and an entity should be able to move through it). Could you please add a possibility to access it to the tgen.XYProxy?
Btw. a new binary build would be nice.
