            Map<String,byte[]> dependencies)
```
    Loads a block. Anything returned by getDependencies() should be loaded and passed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    maxSize - This is the maximum block size that will be cached.
    
    Returns:
    
    The loaded block or null if loading the block would exceed maxSize.
