Virtual blocks calculation block and blocks set to world

[george112n]

There is still one issue left with virtual blocks calculations, and that is when the blocks are not set in the world before a calculation occurs. what this does is that in some instances it causes a calculation to occur where there are 0 block changes, and this creates a loop because the calculation is never marked off as complete.

I believe block change events can be used to solve the first issue - the command should only be ran once all of the existing virtual blocks have been placed on the world.

The second is more difficult if there is indeed not supposed to be any block changes.

This document outlines a solution to virtual blocks which does not rely on any assumptions or hope. It should perform without bugs in all circumstances.

Made a fix which should now solve any remaining issues, but it is not perfect, and some parts still rely on hope and statistics. Will leave this issue open until a better solution is arrived at.

I've noticed that one of the reasons for the calculation loop in new location creation is when the command they entered is wrong. It then never catches the command so the calculation is never finished.
