It was originally added in Bukkit/CraftBukkit@6aafe7c5a1 as a
workaround for BUKKIT-4956 to fix console output on Windows.
I believe the original issue was related to LOG4J2-965 and fixed
in apache/logging-log4j2@d04659c. Minecraft 1.12 finally updated
the Log4J version so this issue is no longer present.
Console output is still working fine on Windows after removing this.
Rewrite console improvements (console colors, tab completion,
persistent input line, ...) using JLine 3.x and TerminalConsoleAppender.
New features:
- Support console colors for Vanilla commands
- Add console colors for warnings and errors
- Server can now be turned off safely using CTRL + C. JLine catches
the signal and the implementation shuts down the server cleanly.
- Support console colors and persistent input line when running in
IntelliJ IDEA
Other changes:
- Update JLine to 3.3.1 (from 2.12.1)
- Server starts 1-2 seconds faster thanks to optimizations in Log4j

When enabled, Parrots will not fly off of a player's shoulder everytime
they change Y level, touch water, sneeze, etc.
Instead, a player must toggle shift to "shake" the parrots off.
CraftBukkit removed their implementation that caused this issue,
switching to Mojang's implementation which doesn't appear to share it. I
already removed the important bit in the last upstream merge, this is
just unused and unnecessary now. So we remove it.
Spigot has patched this issue inside MapIcon, meaning that we no longer need to maintain this patch; Spigots patch also fixes#668 in that it will verify the length of the array, as well as protect against a negative type value being fetched from the array. Only real change is that Spigots patch returns a MapIcon.Type.PLAYER, instead of the RED_MARKER as originally PR'd by Aikar.
Currently, when a player dies they are not automatically ejected from the entity they are riding, which allows
for the ridden entity to affect the players location on respawn (we're still riding it for a part of a tick), as well as allows a dupe to occur with the ridden entity teleporting to the new world with the player
