23 classes have been removed as they are no longer needed using the new
capture logic. This should help quite a bit with future MC updates.
BlockPlaceEvent Refactor
Before calling Item.interactWith, a recording flag is turned on for
setTypeAndData to capture a blockstate for each block that attempts to be set.
When a block place event is cancelled, the recorded blockstate, stack
size, and metadata will revert back to the captured state. If the event is
not cancelled, a notification will be sent to clients and block physics
will be updated.
BlockChangeDelegate Refactor
Now that we have the ability to capture blockstates through world, there
is no need to modify world gen classes with BlockChangeDelegate. Instead
we will simply capture blocks during world generation in order to "replay"
all of the captured blockstates to send back to delegates.
StructureGrowDelegate and BlockSapling.TreeGenerator have also been
removed as part of this change. BlockSapling and BlockMushroom will
capture blockstates the same as block placement and revert back any grow
events if needed.
Any new API here needs more thought, skulls require a name but OfflinePlayer
is not guaranteed to have one. There is a Mojang approved way to get a
complete profile from a name but not from a UUID so for now just pretend
this still only uses names.
For Cocoa Blocks, Block.getDropType() returns the item form of the Cocoa
block, rather than the Cocoa Bean item. Because of this, Cocoa blocks need
to have explicit handling in order to return the proper drop contents.
The CraftBlock class is setting bit 0x4 of the update flag when bit 0x2
should in fact be set here. Bit 0x2 means "do updates"; bit 0x4 means
"don't do updates if the world is static, even when bit 0x2 is set".
When a block placement happens we currently update physics on the
attempted placement and update again if the placement is cancelled.
To correct the first one we simply set the block without applying
physics. To correct the second we have to add a new method to
BlockState that lets us update without applying physics and use
this method method when putting the block back.
The javadocs state that a null may be used to remove the currently
playing sound, however this causes a NullPointerException.
It also doesn't process registering the record correctly, along with
processing non-valid items.
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.
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.
Skull blocks store their type in a tile entity and use their block data
as rotation. When breaking a block the block data is used for determining
what item to drop. Simply changing this to use the skull method for getting
their drop data is not enough because their tile entity is already gone.
Therefore we have to special case skulls to get the correct data _and_ get
that data before breaking the block.
They can spawn any valid entities now. What is a "valid" entity? A "valid" entity is an EntityType with a non-null getName(). (for example: PRIMED_TNT, FALLING_BLOCK)
See the corresponding Bukkit commit for details.
Implementation details:
- Any packets that include an itemstack will send air stacks as null; maybe this will even eliminate the client crash that occurs if the client receives an air stack
- Better handling of null itemstacks in general (ie less converting them to air stacks)
- Inventory.setContents() can now take an array smaller than the inventory without error
- Player.updateInventory() should now correctly update the result slot in a crafting inventory
Some small credit goes to Afforess (initial implementation of openInventory() methods) and Drakia (initial implementation of InventoryOpenEvent and InventoryCloseEvent).
- Removed the useless world field.
- Made it so changes to a CraftSign (which is a Block*State*) no longer reflect into the world without calling sign.update().
