With the persistence api introduced, pets did not have their
persistence flag updated to reflect their persistence. This caused
tame ocelots to not persist under specific conditions.
An ItemStack gains the tag name "tag" when the stack is serialized
to NBT, however items don't have a tag *until* they are serialized at
least once. So to solve this, we remove the tag name when loading the
NBT data.
Another problem with NBT are TagLists, when transferring tag lists
between the server and the client the names are lost, and so we
simply don't add a name to the tag.
In some situations, an async task could be cancelled with no tasks
pending. This means the finally {} block from run() never gets executed
properly on the last async task to have run, as it expected to be
executed again.
This fix takes the only spot that the task period is set to cancelled
and will check to see if the task should be purged from the runners
list.
Some meta functionality is refactored into common methods.
CraftItemStack uses the ItemMetaKey identifiers for enchantments.
Refactored unit test to include extra functionality; initially only
checking the presence of the DelegateDeserialization annotation.
The setTexturePack method causes the player's client to
download and switch to a texture pack specified by a URL.
Note: Players can disable server textures on their client, in which
case this API would not affect them.
The purpose of the isSimilar method was designed to consider all NBT
data, not solely enchantments, without the need to have exact stack
size matches. The respective methods in CraftInventory were still
comparing enchantments instead of the ItemMeta.
Changes some NPEs to IllegalArgumentExceptions for exception consistency.
Contains(ItemStack, int) correctly calculates number of ItemStacks.
Adds a containsAtLeast(ItemStack, int) for finding a combined amount of a
single similar ItemStack.
Makes some utility methods private to prevent ambiguity in use.
When a player triggers a chunk load via walking around or teleporting there
is no need to stop everything and get this chunk on the main thread. The
client is used to having to wait some time for this chunk and the server
doesn't immediately do anything with it except send it to the player. At
the same time chunk loading is the last major source of file IO that still
runs on the main thread.
These two facts make it possible to offload chunks loaded for this reason
to another thread. However, not all parts of chunk loading can happen off
the main thread. For this we use the new AsynchronousExecutor system to
split chunk loading in to three pieces. The first is loading data from
disk, decompressing it, and parsing it in to an NBT structure. The second
piece is creating entities and tile entities in the chunk and adding them
to the world, this is still done on the main thread. The third piece is
informing everyone who requested a chunk load that the load is finished.
For this we register callbacks and then run them on the main thread once
the previous two stages are finished.
There are still cases where a chunk is needed immediately and these will
still trigger chunk loading entirely on the main thread. The most obvious
case is plugins using the API to request a chunk load. We also must load
the chunk immediately when something in the world tries to access it. In
these cases we ignore any possibly pending or in progress chunk loading
that is happening asynchronously as we will have the chunk loaded by the
time they are finished.
The hope is that overall this system will result in less CPU time and
pauses due to blocking file IO on the main thread thus giving more
consistent performance. Testing so far has shown that this also speeds up
chunk loading client side although some of this is likely to be because
we are sending less chunks at once for the client to process.
Thanks for @ammaraskar for help with the implementation of this feature.
Adds:
- Getting/Setting equipment
- getting/setting drop rates
- getting/setting ability to pick up items
-- As an added feature, players with this flag start off with a canceled PlayerPickupItemEvent
Currently when a plugin wants to get the location of something it calls
getLocation() which returns a new Location object. In some scenarios this
can cause enough object creation/destruction churn to be a significant
overhead. For this cases we add a method that updates a provided Location
object so there is no object creation done. This allows well written code
to work on several locations with only a single Location object getting
created.
Providing a more efficient way to set a location was also looked at but
the current solution is the fastest we can provide. You are not required
to create a new Location object every time you want to set something's
location so, with proper design, you can set locations with only a single
Location object being created.
As of 1.4 mobs have a flag to determine if they despawn when away from a
player or not. Unfortunately animals still use their own system to prevent
despawning instead of making use of this flag. This change modifies them
to use the new system (defaults to true) and to add API for plugins to adjust
this.
