Address

Address is a crucial part of a delivery system, allowing correct routing of mail.

Usage

Mailbox

Each mailbox must have an address to be able to send and receive mail.

Mail

Address is selected and applied to a mailable item using an address tag.
It's also used in a "sender" field and delivery log.

Types

There are 5 types of addresses:

• - Block: mailbox
• - Player: player name; resolves to player's default mailbox
• - Service: NPCs
• - Custom: for use in commands; cannot receive mail
• - Unknown: for cases where address could not be determined or does not exist

Players would mostly be dealing with Block, Player and Service types in-game.
