Due to the changes in 1.13, clients will send a tab completion request
for all bukkit commands in order to factor in the lack of support for
brigadier and provide backwards support in the API.
Craftbukkit, however; has moved the chat spam limiter to also interact
with the tab completion request, which while good for avoiding abuse,
causes 1.13 clients to easilly be kicked from a server in bukkit due
to this. Removing the spam limit could cause issues for servers, however,
there is no way for servers to manipulate this without blindly cancelling
kick events, which only causes additional complications. This also causes
issues in that the tab spam limit and chat share the same field but different
limits, meaning that a player having typed a long command may be kicked from
the server.
Splitting the field up and making it configurable allows for server owners
to take the burden of this into their own hand without having to rely on
plugins doing unsafe things.
This patch has been applied to 1.12.2 in order to allow people using
plugins which allow clients of newer versions to connect, this is
not a common practice, however is being done as a level of nicety
given the current status of 1.13
While upstream has now made this event cancellable, their changes
result in the vechicle being removed before the event is called,
thus leading cancellation to not behave as expected.
Our changes for the spawn radius have the potential to throw an ArithmeticException
should the server be stopped before we've loaded worlds, we check if the server is
running earlier to check if we should even consider attempting to load chunks, which
would cause us to, 1) not load chunks anyways, as we're disabled; 2) throw an
ArithmeticException due to us expecting that we're going to be loading more than 0 chunks.
This change by spigot ensures that many interactins with chunks,
e.g. getting a list of TEs will cause the chunk to be marked for not
unloading and will block their unload. This is especially true for
servers using Timings (it needs to access the TE list of chunks), or
any plugins which need to access entity/TE lists periodically.
In some enviroments, the channel limit set by spigot can cause issues,
e.g. servers which allow and support the usage of mod packs.
provide an optional flag to disable this check, at your own risk.
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.
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.
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.
In some environments, the 2.20.1 version of the maven surefire plugin
can cause builds to fail due to changes in surefire in how it detects
that the forked JVM used for testing is still alive or not.
Entity AI tasks are initialized earlier in recent versions
of MC, this means that the fromMobSpawner has not been set
at the point where AI tasks are initilazed and so the goalFloat
will never be populated.
To rectify this, we can rely on the entity tick checking if
the mob is from a spawner each tick, and just initialize the
field should the paper option be enabled. This saves us from
having to modify the call chain in order to pass the fact that
it was created by a mobSpawner earlier.
This commit removes two patches from spigot:
please review the patch messages for more information, however;
"Allow Disabling of Random Lighting Updates" potentially leaves chunk light maps in an invalid state, with
how often the server looks at these anyways, this patch really serves a questionable nature, the work is
going to be done, only it's being delayed and allowing the light map to be left in a potentially outdated
state.
"Fix some chunks not being sent to the client" sends chunks before their lighting has been calculated, this
means that the client will recieve chunks before they lighting has been calculated which can cause rendering
artifacts. The original issue around this patch appears to have already been fixed years ago.
In 1.12.2, Mojang moved the processing of PacketPlayInKeepAlive off the main
thread, while entirely correct for the server, this causes issues with
plugins which are expecting the PlayerQuitEvent on the main thread.
In order to counteract some bad behavior, we will post handling of the
disconnection to the main thread, but leave the actual processing of the packet
on the main thread.

Java decided to change their versioning scheme and in doing so modified the
java.version system property to return $major[.$minor][.$secuity][-ea], as
opposed to 1.$major.0_$identifier we can handle pre-9 by checking if the "major"
is equal to "1", otherwise, 9+
of course, it really wouldn't be all that simple if they didn't add a quirk, now would it.
valid strings for the major may potentially include values such as -ea to deannotate a pre release
