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().
