  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getStoredBlockID

          public int getStoredBlockID()

    - #### getBlockMetadata

          public int getBlockMetadata()

      Returns block data at the location of this entity (client-only).
      Overrides:
        `getBlockMetadata` in class `TileEntity`

    - #### isExtending

          public boolean isExtending()

      Returns true if a piston is extending

    - #### getPistonOrientation

          public int getPistonOrientation()

      Returns the orientation of the piston as an int

    - #### shouldRenderHead

          public boolean shouldRenderHead()

    - #### getProgress

          public float getProgress(float par1)

      Get interpolated progress value (between lastProgress and progress) given the fractional time between ticks as an argument.
