If you wish to change what <code><nowiki>BlockState</nowiki></code> is used when placing your block, you can overwrite <code><nowiki>Block#getStateForPlacement(BlockPlaceContext)</nowiki></code>. This can be used to, for example, set the direction of your block depending on where the player is standing when they place it.

Because <code><nowiki>BlockState</nowiki></code>s are immutable, and all combinations of their properties are generated on startup of the game, calling <code><nowiki>BlockState#setValue(Property<T>, T)</nowiki></code> will simply go to the <code><nowiki>Block</nowiki></code>'s <code><nowiki>StateHolder</nowiki></code> and request the <code><nowiki>BlockState</nowiki></code> with the set of values you want.

If you want to get a <code><nowiki>BlockState</nowiki></code> with a different set of values, simply call <code><nowiki>BlockState#setValue(Property<T>, T)</nowiki></code> with the property and its value.

You can get and place <code><nowiki>BlockState</nowiki></code>s in the level using <code><nowiki>Level#setBlockAndUpdate(BlockPos, BlockState)</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>Level#getBlockState(BlockState)</nowiki></code>. If you are placing a <code><nowiki>Block</nowiki></code>, call <code><nowiki>Block#defaultBlockState()</nowiki></code> to get the "default" state, and use subsequent calls to <code><nowiki>BlockState#setValue(Property<T>, T)</nowiki></code> as stated above to achieve the desired state.
