The 'tag' NBTTagCompound field of the ItemStack assumes that it is OK to
save a reference to an NBT supplied via load() and assumes it is OK to
supply a reference to the internal field during a save(). Neither is true,
as Chunk NBT structures are required to be read-only once created (due to
being written asynchronously off the server thread AND due to the potential
to be passed to a new Chunk if the same chunk is reloaded before the
writing of the NBT is completed by the File I/O thread). Keeping a live
reference to the NBT copy passed in, or to the NBT value passed back
during saving, creates serious thread safety issues which can result in
corrupted data being written to the world data files.
The specific issue here was uncovered by the recent change to use
setName("") on the ItemStack.tag object. When a chunk is being loaded
again before its save is completed, this results in name of the field
in the NBT being set to "". This causes it to be saved as "" instead
of "tag" resulting in it not being properly reloaded in the future which
results in the itemstack losing all of its metadata.
Teleportation should never be processed on dead entities. If you wish
to teleport an entity, do it on a living entity. If you wish to
teleport a player, set their respawn location in PlayerRespawnEvent.
This adds two settings to bukkit.yml, allowing activation and control of
two chunk garbage collection triggering conditions:
chunk-gc/period-in-ticks controls a periodic GC, run once every N ticks
(default is 600); chunk-gc/load-threshold causes the GC to run once
after every N calls to loadChunk() on a given world (this call is an API
call used by plugins, and is distinct from the path taken for routine
player movement-based loading). In both cases, setting to zero will
disable the given GC scheduling strategy.
In either case, the act of doing the GC is simply one of scanning the
loaded chunks, seeing which are NOT being used by one or more players
(due to view-distance) and which are not already queued for unload, and
queueing them for a normal unload. Ultimately, the unload is then
processed the same as if the chunk were unloaded due to leaving the
view-distance range of all players, so the impact on plugins should be
no different (and strategies such as handling the ChunkUnloadEvent in
order to prevent unload will still work).
The initial interval for the periodic GC is randomized on a per-world
basis, in order to avoid all world being GCed at the same time -
minimizing potential lag spikes.
With the persistence api introduced, pets did not have their
persistence flag updated to reflect their persistence. This caused
tame ocelots to not persist under specific conditions.
Slimes and wolves have health that can change based on certain
conditions. So we check if their max health should be updated, and if
it has been customized in any way.
We also scale the wolf's health for their tail
An ItemStack gains the tag name "tag" when the stack is serialized
to NBT, however items don't have a tag *until* they are serialized at
least once. So to solve this, we remove the tag name when loading the
NBT data.
Another problem with NBT are TagLists, when transferring tag lists
between the server and the client the names are lost, and so we
simply don't add a name to the tag.
If you cancel a BlockPlaceEvent for a sign the world is updated as if
the block was placed and then destroyed. To avoid this we set the block
without updating physics then apply the update after the event.
When unloading chunks we have a check to ensure we do not remove players
from the world due to the issues this would cause. However, our check
to see if the player is in this chunk is reversed and is in fact entirely
wrong. Even if the player isn't currently in this chunk we do not want
to remove them as that will still cause the same issues.
The key "direction" incorrectly mapped to variables that were already
set in the entity. In order to prevent loading incorrect data we
renamed "direction" to "power."
The player would have no permissions (other than their OP status)
when checked in the Quit event. This is because we removed permissions
before the event occurred. By calling it afterwards, we can persist
the data until the server finally removes the player.
In some situations, an async task could be cancelled with no tasks
pending. This means the finally {} block from run() never gets executed
properly on the last async task to have run, as it expected to be
executed again.
This fix takes the only spot that the task period is set to cancelled
and will check to see if the task should be purged from the runners
list.
Some meta functionality is refactored into common methods.
CraftItemStack uses the ItemMetaKey identifiers for enchantments.
Refactored unit test to include extra functionality; initially only
checking the presence of the DelegateDeserialization annotation.
The setTexturePack method causes the player's client to
download and switch to a texture pack specified by a URL.
Note: Players can disable server textures on their client, in which
case this API would not affect them.
With 1.4, entity sound tracking changed for the better.
Our previous method additions can now be removed.
All that's left is checking if the source can be seen
by the recipient of the sound packet. Thanks, Mojang!
