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.
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.
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.
If a defensive copy is not used in the API, changes to the item are
reflected in memory, but never updated to the client. It also goes
against the general contract provided in Bukkit, where setItem should be
the only way to change the underlying item frame.
If two players (or a player and any other entity) are teleported to the
same location in the same tick they will both get added to the other's
destroy queue then have a new entity spawn packet sent. Next tick the
destroy queue will be processed and they will then be invisible to each
other. To prevent this situation we remove the entity from the destroy
queue when sending out a spawn packet for them.
If a plugin calls player.hidePlayer(other); then player.showPlayer(other);
in the same tick the other player will be added to the entity destroy queue
then a spawn packet will be sent. On the next tick the queue will be
processed and a destroy packet will be sent that renders the other player
invisible. To correct this we ensure the destroy queue is in sync with use
of the vanish API.
This change was done to remove the internal sound names from the API.
Along with moving the internal names into CraftBukkit, a unit test was
added for any new sounds added in the API to assure they have a non-null
mapping.
Added two utility collections for use with PlayerChatEvents allowing lazier
initialization of events and less need to synchronize against the player
list.
Provided a hidden queue system for similar logic to pre-1.3 chat. When a
plugin is listening for the deprecated PlayerChatEvent, all chat will be
delayed to be mirror executed from the main thread. All developers are
encouraged to immediately update to the developmental Bukkit chat API as a
minimum transition for server stability.
Additionally, changes were required to bring thread-safety to the flow
logic. CopyOnWriteArrayList is the only viable means to produce thread
safety with minimal diff; using a sane pre-implemented collection would
require reworking of sections of NMS logic.
As a minor change, implemented expected functionality for
PlayerCommandPreProcessEvent. Setting the player should now change the
player executing the command.
