Something like this?

if (m.Type == "b")
            {
                x = m.GetInt(1);
                y = m.GetInt(2);
                blockid = m.GetInt(3);
                //save to log.txt or something?
            }

That would work for all of the normal blocks, but you might have to do something special for other blocks

I do this:

            switch (m.Type)
            {
                // Other messages
                case "b":
                    world.BlockPlaced(m, 0);
                    break;
                case "br":
                    world.BlockPlaced(m, 4);
                    break;
                case "bc":
                case "bs":
                case "lb":
                case "pt":
                case "ts":
                case "wp":
                    world.BlockPlaced(m);
                    break;
            }

Then I have a BlockPlaced function that gets the values from the message:

        private void BlockPlaced(PlayerIOClient.Message m, int layerPos = -1)
        {
            object[] args = new object[m.Count - (layerPos >= 0 ? 5 : 4)];
            uint id = 0;
            int l = 0;
            int x = 0;
            int y = 0;

            int i1 = -3;
            for (uint i2 = 0; i2 + 1 < m.Count; i2++)
            {
                if (i2 == layerPos)
                {
                    l = m.GetInt(i2);
                    continue;
                }
                
                if (i1 == -3)
                    x = m.GetInt(i2);
                else if (i1 == -2)
                    y = m.GetInt(i2);
                else if (i1 == -1)
                    id = m.GetUInt(i2);
                else
                {
                    args[i1] = m[i2];
                }

                i1++;
            }
            
            // Handle block placement
        }

This might be overkill for some purposes though, so, depending what you are going to use it for, what you described might be enough
