# SimpleTickingBlock In Slimefun you must have a `BlockMenuPreset` in order to have an `onNewInstance()` call, this call is commonly used to grab information from `BlockStorage` after a server restart to restore a block's state. If you do not want your block to have a GUI, however, this class can be used instead. It has a method `onFirstTick(Block, SlimefunItem, Config)` that allows you do to all of the functions you would normally do in `onNewInstance()`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
