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.

Limit the number of generations that can occur in a single tick, forcing them
to be spread out more.
Defaulting to 10 as an average generation is going to be 3-6ms, which means 10 will
likely cause the server to lose TPS, but constrain how much.
This should result in no noticeable speed reduction in generation for servers not
lagging, and let larger servers reduce this value according to their own desires.
add a system property to allow people to tweak how long the server
will wait for a reply. There is a compromise here between lower and higher
values, lower values will mean that dead connections can be closed sooner,
whereas higher values will make this less sensitive to issues such as spikes
from networking or during connections flood of chunk packets on slower clients,
at the cost of dead connections being kept open for longer.
Instead of overriding add within the queue, never add runnables to the
queue if the light queue is disabled.
This change is made to make timings reports and stacktraces less
confusing for administrators, who prior to this change, would have seen
the lighting queue referenced in both, regardless of whether or not it
was enabled.
This change should not affect performance, nor is it made with the
intent to.
This allows plugins that give players the ability to apply the experience
points to the Item Mending formula, which will repair an item instead
of giving the player experience points.
Both an API To standalone mend, and apply mending logic to .giveExp has been added.
Fired when the server is about to merge 2 experience orbs
Plugins can cancel this if they want to ensure experience orbs do not lose important
metadata such as spawn reason, or conditionally move data from source to target.
This ensures that enchants are never added in inconsistent order.
The client shows the enchants in a sorted order already
This will auto fix previously created items too on load.
Spigot, by default, disables several mechanisms around how chunks are
lit, if ever, which has forced them to always send chunks before vanilla
would consider them ready to send, causing for lots of issues around
lighting glitches.
Shamefully, the amount of work to relight chunks can be detremental
to some servers, meaning that forcibily disabling light updates can
cause major performance issues.
as such, we make a compromise; if this "feature" is disabled, we will
only send chunks which are actually ready to be sent, otherwise, we
will always send chunks.
Any plugin still using this API will result in the server saving an inconsistent UUID to player data files,
which then triggers warnings such as "Tried to load unrecognized recipe: bukkit:9e5b92f5-e549-4f47-b0a8-9f89390ed77b removed now."
on the players login.
Plugin authors need to define a key to keep it consistent between server restarts.
Let plugins be able to control tab completion of commands and chat async.
This will be useful for frameworks like ACF so we can define async safe completion handlers,
and avoid going to main for tab completions.
Especially useful if you need to query a database in order to obtain the results for tab
completion, such as offline players.
Also adds isCommand and getLocation to the sync TabCompleteEvent
In 1.12, Spigot improved their blockstate implementation to take a full
copy of the TE, this allows for a much better snapshot in that it will
actually retain all of the TE's state, it is a much more expensive
implementation. This is also implicated with their backwards compat
for inventories meaning that accessing of a snapshots inventory of a
placed block will actually access the inventory of the live TE, making
creation of a snapshot redundant if the only intent is to interact with
the TEs inventory.
Hoppers are a horrible hit, every attempt to transfer an ItemStack will
result in two TileEntity snapshots, with two hoppers and a double chest
ontop, I managed to log 380 cases per second where a snapshot would have been
taken in cases where the snapshot is redundant.
