The old flag for picking up loot was default to false, making existing players not able to pickup items. We now use this flag for Players, which gives us the problem we had in 48b46f83.
To fix this, we add an incremental flag that will be cross-examined to check if the data was saved before or after the flag level was introduced.

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.
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.
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.
When sending chunks to a player we use their writer thread to do chunk
compression to avoid blocking the main thread with this work. However,
after a teleport or respawn there are a large number of chunk packets to
process. This causes the thread to spend a long period handling compression
while we continue dumping more chunk packets on it to handle. The result of
this is a noticable delay in getting responses to commands and chat
immediately after teleporting.
Switching to a lower compression level reduces this load and makes our
behavior more like vanilla. We do, however, still give this thread more
work to do so there will likely still be some delay when comparing to
vanilla. The only way to avoid this would be to put chunk compression back
on the main thread and give everyone on the server a poorer experience
instead.
When an event changes the item to be dispensed we check to see if the new
item has special behavior for dispensing and if so pass it on to that
behavior handler. However, we are actually checking the old itemstack and
passing the new itemstack so this check fails.
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.
