Main thread type ID copying example

[Azvyl]

The problem comes from the core issue (related to pmmp/PocketMine-MP#6062) where BlockTypeIds::newId() is not synchronized between threads.

"The current recommendation is for plugins to copy the type ID from the main thread rather than using ::newId() within any other threads."

However, the RegisterBlocksDemoPM5 example appears to use ::newId() in a way that does not strictly enforce this main-thread copying recommendation.

The problem is that there's no reliable way to demonstrate it. While one plugin might inherit a type ID from the main thread, another one might use newId() anyway and lead to a conflict.

I think a standard practice is needed for this. Or is it safe to just use this example for now?
I'm confused about which approach to use when registering a block with a plugin.

My old plugin uses Customies plugin to register custom blocks, which uses a create function to construct the Block class. I'm confused about whether to use BlockTypeIds::newId() directly or store it first.

Oh I remember we discussed this on discord

That solution is also not viable because of current usage patterns. Type ID in general needs to be reworked. See pmmp/PocketMine-MP#6786
