I think that the command

commands.getBlockInfo(x, y, z)

should also return the faceing value of a turtle or a computer. This would be extremly usefull for navigation systems.

Would love if it would get included in cc:)
Thanks.

In 1.76 (the 1.8 version) I believe such a command exits: it returns all blockstates for that block (such as turtle type, facing direction, etc…). This wouldn't be as easy in 1.7.10.

1.76 includes blockstate info in the results. For many blocks, this includes facing.
