This commit introduces the concept of MobArena Labs as well as the first explicitly experimental feature in the form of custom entity type lists for the cleanup procedure. MobArena Labs is an attempt at a compromise between the otherwise rigid approach to functionality due to maintainability concerns and some of the esoteric feature requests we see on Github. The compromise manifests itself as follows: - All experimental functionality is opt-in and set up primarily in a new file, `labs.yml`, which must be created manually. Nothing is provided for users by default, so the "I know what I'm doing"-attitude required for this functionality to work hopefully helps convey the user-facing downside; that experimental functionality is much more likely to break between releases, and that compatibility issues are ignored. - The other side of the coin is that we can try new things as long as they are _local to MobArena_, i.e. no external dependencies. Some of the esoteric and niche feature requests we see on Github could make it into the plugin as experimental features. If enough servers make use of them and provide feedback, they could end up as regular features with stability and robustness concerns on par with core parts of the plugin. We use bStats to help visualize feature usage (or lack thereof so we can remove unused functionality if it is problematic). The first experimental feature is the ability to customize the list of entity types that MobArena looks for when clearing the arena region of residual entities such as arrows and experience orbs. This is called the Housekeeper, and it has its own section in `labs.yml`. It can be toggled on or off with the `enabled` flag, and the list of entities is specified with the `entities` list. Because the original code was hardcoded in the ArenaImpl class, no effort has been made to make the Housekeeper and its settings per-arena configurable. Closes #667 |
