@CatalogedBy(BlockTypes.class)
public interface BlockType
extends DefaultedRegistryValue, ComponentLike, StateContainer<BlockState>, DataHolder.Immutable<BlockType>, Taggable<BlockType>
```
Describes a base type of block.
Blocks are further differentiated using a BlockState. Complex data, such as inventory contents, are considered data, which is provided via BlockEntity.

- Method Detail
  - item
```
java.util.Optional<ItemType> item()
```
    Return the ItemType that represents this block.
    
    Returns:
    
    The item type or Optional.empty() otherwise
  - doesUpdateRandomly
```
boolean doesUpdateRandomly()
```
    Gets if this BlockType is set to receive random block ticks.
    Random block updates are most commonly used for growth of plants.
    
    Returns:
    
    If the BlockType updates randomly
  - setUpdateRandomly
```
void setUpdateRandomly(boolean updateRandomly)
```
    Sets if the BlockType should receive random block updates.
    Random block updates are most commonly used for growth of plants.
    
    Parameters:
    
    updateRandomly - If the BlockType should update randomly
  - soundGroup
```
BlockSoundGroup soundGroup()
```
    Gets the BlockSoundGroup for this block.
    
    Returns:
    
    This block's sound group.
  - isAnyOf
```
boolean isAnyOf(java.util.function.Supplier<? extends BlockType>... types)
```
    Returns true if this type is any of the given block types
    
    Parameters:
    
    types - the block types to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is any of the given block types
  - isAnyOf
```
boolean isAnyOf(BlockType... types)
```
    Returns true if this type is any of the given block types
    
    Parameters:
    
    types - the block types to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is any of the given block types
