The server validates incoming interaction packets by ensuring the player
sending them is inside their interaction range. For this, the server adds
a magic value, by default 1.0, to the original interaction range to
account for latency issues.
This value however may be too low in high latency environments.
The patch exposes a new configuration option to configure said value.
Reduces json size by about 25%
Not sure why advancements even had pretty printing enabled.
My best guess was by accident on mojang's part, especially since stats json files don't have pretty printing.
If a plugin sets the health of a living entity above 0 after it has already died, the entity will be "revived".
It will behave the exact same as before, except with the internal "dead" flag set, resulting in 2 behavior changes,
A: it's completely invulnerable to all damage
B: it's unable to pickup items
isValid() for these bugged entities will return true, isDead() will return false, despite the dead flag.
This patch checks that the mob isn't dead before saying its alive.
Also, even if the plugin is responsibly checking !isDead() before modifying health, on very rare circumstances
I am currently unable to replicate, these "revived" entities can still appear
In VanillaChestLoot, compasses accidentally have a setdamage loot
function on them, but compasses don't take durability, resulting in a warning.
This patch simply removes attempting to add damage to the compass item.
Most of the visual artifacts that result from having item merge radius above vanilla levels is from items merging vertically,
which realistically, only happens when a player is dropping items, or items are dropping from breaking a block.
Most of the scenarios where item merging makes sense involves the two item entities being on the same Y level. i.e on the ground next to each other.
This is even more apparent since paper fixed items being able to merge through blocks.
This patch allows us to configure items to only merge horizontally, which is what vanilla does.
This allows us to have both the reduced number of item entities a high item-merge radius provides,
without most of the visual artifacts caused by items merging vertically.
