 Description   

It would be nice to have net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockBase.BlockData#canPlace exposed in spigot's BlockData interface, this method is overriden by various blocks to determine if they can be placed at a certain location.

This would be a replacement for the following method that makes use of NMS to call canPlace.

    public static boolean canPlace(BlockData data, Location location) {
        return ((CraftBlockData) data).getState().canPlace(((CraftWorld) location.getWorld()).getHandle(),
                new BlockPosition(location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ()));
    }

From discord:
[11:04 AM] md_5: I'd probably suggest Block#canPlace(BlockData)
[11:04 AM] md_5: but otherwise seems like 10 minutes work

In this case I am using it to see if the default state of a material can be placed at a given location so I can allow dispensers to place blocks without them being placed in invalid locations (floating saplings, etc).

Be more specific about your use case please
