The Craft Scheduler still uses the primary thread for task scheduling.
This results in the main thread still having to do work as part of the
dispatching of async tasks.
If plugins make use of lots of async tasks, such as particle emitters
that want to keep the logic off the main thread, the main thread still
receives quite a bit of load from processing all of these queued tasks.
Additionally, resizing and managing the pending entries for all of
these asynchronous tasks takes up time on the main thread too.
This commit replaces the implementation of the scheduler when working
with asynchronous tasks, by forwarding calls to the new scheduler.
The Async Scheduler uses a single thread executor for "management" tasks.
The Management Thread is responsible for all adding and dispatching of
scheduled tasks.
The mainThreadHeartbeat will send a heartbeat task to the management thread
with the currentTick value, so that it can find which tasks to execute.
Scheduling of an async tasks also dispatches a management task, ensuring
that any Queue resizing operation occurs off of the main thread.
The async queue uses a complete separate PriorityQueue, ensuring that resize
operations are decoupled from the sync tasks queue.
Additionally, an optimization was made that if a plugin schedules
a single, non repeating, no delay task, that we immediately dispatch it
to the executor pool instead of scheduling it. This avoids an unnecessary
round trip through the queue, as well as will reduce the size growth of the
queue if a plugin schedules lots of asynchronous tasks.
This seems completely pointless, as packet dispatch uses .writeAndFlush.
Things seem to work fine without implicit flushing, but incase issues arise,
provide a System property to re-enable it using improved logic of doing the
flushing on the netty event loop, so it won't do the flush on the main thread.
Renable flushing by passing -Dpaper.implicit-flush=true
This will force the saves to spread over multiple ticks even when many
players auto save interval is aligned, avoiding spikes on large servers.
Closes#1021
Plugins were abusing this to dispatch commands async anyways.
We will no longer check that flag, and force all commands to be ran sync.
Use a different boolean for allowing things go to through on shutdown/restart instead.

- Lots of itemstack cloning removed. Only clone if the item is actually moved
- Return true when a plugin cancels inventory move item event instead of false, as false causes pulls to cycle through all items.
However, pushes do not exhibit the same behavior, so this is not something plugins could of been relying on.
- Add option (Default on) to cooldown hoppers when they fail to move an item due to full inventory
- Skip subsequent InventoryMoveItemEvents if a plugin does not use the item after first event fire for an iteration
This is adds basic item meta for armor stands. It does not add all
possible metadata however.
There are armor, hand, and equipment types, as well as position data
that can also be added here. This initial implementation should serve as
a starting point for future additions in this area.
Fixes GH-559
This is a source of MAJOR lag for hoppers, as well as a gameplay bug.
This removes the necessity to disable the cat on chest behavior to improve performance.
now performance will be improved even if you have cat chest detection on.
Allows plugins to populate profile properties from local sources to avoid calls out to Mojang API
to fill in textures for example.
If Mojang API does need to be hit, event fire so you can get the results.
This is useful for implementing a ProfileCache for Player Skulls
This simply provides the base API to create the objects. Further commits will come that adds
adds usage of this API to existing GameProfile based API's, as well as new API's.
This event can be used for when you want to exclude a certain player
from triggering monster spawns on a server.
Also a highly more effecient way to blanket block spawns in a world
Adds an event to fire before an Entity is created, so that plugins that need to cancel
CreatureSpawnEvent can do so from this event instead.
Cancelling CreatureSpawnEvent rapidly causes a lot of garbage collection and CPU waste
as it's done after the Entity object has been fully created.
Mob Limiting plugins and blanket "ban this type of monster" plugins should use this event
instead and save a lot of server resources.
