If a plugin looks up a player that is offline they may not know the correct
capitalization for the name. In this case they're likely to get it wrong
and since we cache the result even after the player joins the server all
future request for an OfflinePlayer will return one with incorrect case.
When looking up a player who has played on the server before we can
get the correct case from the player data file saved by the server. If
the player has never played before this point we cannot do anything and
will still have the same issue but this is not a solvable problem.
If a player travels past 32,000,000 blocks on the X or Z coordinates they
will be kicked for having an illegal position. On kick their player data
is saved which includes their (illegal) position. This means on join they
are immediately kicked again for the same reason and are stuck. Instead of
kicking at all in this case just teleport the player back to their previous
position just like the moved wrongly check does.
In order to correctly handle disconnects for invalid chat we setup a
Waitable and pass it to the main thread then wait for it to be processed.
However, commands are also chat packets and they are already on the main
thread. In this case, waiting will deadlock the server so we should just
do a normal disconnect.
End portals can only be placed in the end during the dragon's death.
Attempts to place them outside of this window causes the block to remove
itself. However, we still create the tile entity for the portal which
leads to exceptions spamming the console about a tile entity existing
without the appropriate block. In these cases we should not place the tile
entity at all.
When invalid chat is detected we currently drop the connection with no
hint as to why as anything else is not allowed while we're off the main
thread. To give valid disconnect reasons and fire proper events instead
pass these off to the main thread and wait for it to process them.
If a plugin cancels a PlayerInteractEvent when left clicking a block the
client may have removed this block if they are in creative mode or if the
block breaks in a single hit. In this case, we need to update the client's
tile entity as well as telling it the block still exists.
Packet 51 is used to send updates about large changes to single chunks
and to remove chunks from the client when they get out of range. In the
first case a single packet object is created and queued for all relevant
players. With our current chunk compression scheme this means the first
player to have the packet processed will start the compression and get the
packet correctly but the rest will get garbage.
Since this packet never contains much data it is better to simply handle
compression of it on the main thread like vanilla does instead of putting in
locks and dealing with their overhead and complexity.
When a client tries to break a block it assumes it has done so unless told
otherwise by the server. This means the client also wipes out any tile
entity data it has for the block as well. We do not send this data when
updating the client so clients lose things like text on signs, skull type,
etc when they aren't allowed to break the block.
Skulls need their tile entity in order to create an item correctly when
broken unlike every other block. Instead of sprinkling special cases all
over the code just override dropNaturally for skulls to read from their
tile entity and make sure everything that wants to drop them calls this
method before removing the block. There is only one case where this wasn't
already true so we end up with much less special casing.
Sheep now use the crafting system when breeding to determine what color
their baby should be. This triggers an event but the event wants the
crafting inventory to have a result slot which sheep do not have. This
event could be useful for plugins to control the output of sheep breeding
so instead of disabling it we add a result slot so the event fires without
issue.
If a chunk gets a block added to it that requires the extended block id
nibble array (block id greater than 255) the array is created and saved
with the chunk. When the blocks are verified to make sure they exist these
entries are erased but the extended block id array is not. This causes the
server and client to disagree about how much data a chunk has which makes
the client crash while trying to load the chunk for rendering.
To resolve these issues we now clear the extended block id array on chunk
load if there is no valid data in it.
When a block creates a falling entity the block is not immediately removed
from the world. Instead, the falling entity is responsible for removing it
but only if the block still exists. Due to certain piston mechanics it is
possible to move the block before this check happens and thus the block is
not removed. This should be fine as the entity will kill itself in this
situation. However, the code does not stop here and continues running the
rest of the entity logic which includes either placing a block in the world
or placing a block item in the world depending on the circumstances.
If a block is air we return immediately so miss the cleanup work that would
normally happen in this case in vanilla. This causes us to get in to a
situation where, due to odd packet sending from the client, we never
properly stop an attempt by the client to break a block and thus it
eventually breaks.
We also use our own variable for block damage and never sync it up with the
vanilla one so damage reporting to other clients is not always correct.
The static assertions are not normally evaluated in the JVM, and failed
to fail when the enums went from size 25 to size 26. This meant missing
values would not be detected at runtime and instead return null,
compounding problems later. The switches should never evaluate to null
so will instead throw runtime assertion errors.
Additional unit tests were added to detect new paintings and assure they
have proper, unique mappings. The test checks both that a mapping
exists, is not null, and does not duplicate another mapping.
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.
