As an added feature, players defaulted to being able to not pick up items if the flag was false. However, since minecraft doesn't normally use the flag on players, the flag was always false.
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
When a mob is marked with the persistent flag (animal or anything with
setRemoveWhenFarAway(false)) the entire block of code for checking if they
should be despawned is skipped. However, one part of this code updates the
mob state if a player is close enough to them. It turns out this state is
used by the AI system to decide if the mob should move around randomly or
not. To stop mobs from being frozen in place we now update this state if
the persistent flag is set as well.
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.
org.bukkit.craftbukkit and net.minecraft.server will now include the
minecraft version in the package name. As the internal implementations
are known to change dramatically, this refactor reduces the strain on
support requests due to version mismatching.
org.bukkit.craftbukkit.libs will also have version numbers for each
imported set of packages. These are not dictated by the minecraft
version number. This is done to prevent future incompatibilities.
The old default for the persistent flag on mobs was false which was then
written out to their NBT data when they were saved. We now use this data
for all mobs, not just non-animal mobs. However, this means animals that
spawned before that change will now start despawning like monsters do.
To avoid this we add a new flag to the mob's saved data to mark if the
data was saved before or after we started using it and ignore it if it
was before.
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.
If the player is not in Creative (i.e. does not have the ability to
instantly build) we need to decrement the MonsterEgg item stack when used
on a breedable parent mob.
Stale player references will add a player back into the world when
teleporting them, causing a cascade of issues relating to ghost entities
and servers failing to stop.
On join we unconditionally add the player to the world they logged out in.
If a plugin teleports a player during PlayerJoinEvent in a way that adds
them to a world (cross-world teleport) we end up with one player in two
places. To avoid this we check to see if the player has changed worlds or
is already added to the world we have we skip adding them again.
