ForgeFlower is better than Spigots FernFlower at decompiling the source.
However, in order to maintain the CraftBukkit patches, we must keep
using spigots for the primary.
However, for any file that we import on top of Spigots imported files
there is nothing stopping us from using better decompiled files.
So these changes will use ForgeFlower to maintain a better set of
decomped files, so anything we add on top of Paper can start off
in a better spot.
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
configuration
Allows us much greater control over the Spigot portion of the code
and makes us more "proper"
