API 2.9.1: Support 1.21.124, add tint/isotropic method to custom block material, allowing updating entity properties immediately (#5991)

* Prepare for 1.21.124

* Add tint method and isotropic properties to block material instances (#5977)

* Add tint method and isotropic properties to block material instances

* Check if tint method is null before including it

* Lets cover the null check on render method too

* Allow updating properties immediately (#5961)
