[1.8] Meta Data blocks. (Like wool.)

[Chibill]

I understand that we use the block state system to store properties and still have the 4-bit limit. But how do we make metadata blocks anyways now. I have looked a the dirt block and will try and get it workimg based off that but if anyone could at least give me a tip onchow i would be every thank full.

BlockOldLog is good to look at too, it uses metadata to store two properties.

Well to start I am just going to copy the whole class and start messing with it.. But does anyone already know how to do this?
