   Is there any way to change an item's drops before the block break event?
   I want players to be able to place blocks which won't drop anything without having to store those blocks in a file and listen for the break, because there could be lots and lots of these drops and I don't want to have to search through large arrays on break events.
   
   For instance, is there anything that would work like this.
   
   onBlockPlace
   
   if(noWantDrops()){
   e.getBlockPlaced().setDrops(null);
   }
   
   Then if someone broke that placed block, no drops would spawn.

   If you use a HashSet to store the blocks (or their locations), lookup time is O(1) - instant. There's no "searching" when using hashes, which makes them great for potential big sets or lists.
