Additionally, fix ActivationRange using global state to store
the AABBs it checks entities against. This fixes an issue where
entities would not be activated when they should be.
The region shift is configurable under `grid-exponent`, which
allows setting the region shift to any value in [0, 31]. Note
that values above 6 affect the lock shift, as the lock shift
currently is computed as max(ticket shift = 6, region shift).
The shift is left configurable for now as the lower default
shift of 2 may have negative performance impacts.
The default region shift has been adjusted to 2 from 4, and
the empty chunk buffer has been reduced to 8 from 16. These
changes reduce, but do not eliminate, player spread
requirements. The previous block range was around ~1500 blocks
at VD = 10, but is now closer to ~900 blocks at VD = 10. This
roughly reduces the area that each player uses in the regioniser
by 2.5x.
Currently, /tick is disabled but is planned to be re-added.
It's unlikely that support for sprinting can be implemented
precisely due to the fact that Folia ticks many regions
independently. However, a best-effort approach will be used.
Very early build, network configuration switching is supported
but not tested (note: changes need to be backported to Paper)
Changes:
- Supports per player mob caps
- Adds entity tracker optimisations which are not in Paper
(and will not be ported to Paper due to plugin conflicts)
- No longer reverts paper distance map optimisations, as
those are replaced by the NearbyPlayers class
These changes should bring Folia in-line with Paper's optimisations
at least (probably more given the entity tracker optimisations),
still missing features like world loading / some commands
Fix two regionizer issues:
In ThreadedRegionizer#addChunk, fix the incorrect handling
of merging two regions where one of the regions had
pending merges. If the first region had pending merges,
and the second was marked as "ready" then the merge would
cause a "ready" region to have pending merges. The fix is
to simply downgrade the "ready" region to "transient,"
as was previously done if the merge was delayed in the
case where the first region was "ticking."
Additionally, prevent the creation of empty regions
by checking if any new sections were created. This would
happen when a section existed, but had no marked chunks
in it AND all of the sections neighbours existed. In these
cases, no region needs to be created as no sections were
created.
