Ability to send block changes from chunks not in view

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Currently when a sendBlockChange or a send#Change method in GlowPlayer is called, action will only occur if the chunk is visible to the client at that current time.

It would be nice if you could send a block change in a chunk the client doesn't know about, for it to optionally be stored in memory and when their known chunks update, for it to send the block change if it belongs to that chunk.

I could work on this when I have free time if this is an approved idea.

So like a queue for block changes? That could be useful, but I think it should be in a new method so we don't change functionality with the current method, which may result in confusion.

@Momothereal, the project lead, will probably have more to say.
