Block data storage is currently a boolean, a short and 4 bytes intended to be used to store per block data, as pointed out by /u/Sleakes on Reddit this isn't a good system and needs to be overhauled. Only a few things use this data so far so it's still a good time to change. Still not sure what to replace it with though.

0 fps blog had a good write up on various methods for storing voxel engine data a few years ago.

TL;DR: Look into a hashed interval tree if you haven't already!

Issue #46. More testing to be done and an example block is needed but
this overhaul is in progress, I think this will make block data more
flexible.
