* using "force loaded" chunk flag instead of canceling ChunkUnloadEvents, which is no longer possible as of Spigot 1.14
* replaced UUID lookup code with newer and slightly improved implementation
* added new 1.14 wooden sign variations to safe open blocks list
* fix for error if Fill was canceled or finished without actually loading any chunks
* added notice to end of Trim recommending server restart
This routes all world generation requests through PaperLib, which will generate Chunks asynchronously if the server allows it (Paper does, Spigot doesn't). This means changes to which chunks are still needed, and which can be unloaded, as well; the code keeps a list of Chunks that are needed for others, and will unload them only when the target chunk has been generated. Unloads by the server itself get prevented while the chunk is needed; else the server could decide on a tick that chunk has no players nearby and needs to be unloaded.
Provides public methods to get the percentage for the fill and trim
task. These can be used by 3rd party plugins to get the calculated
percentage or get the values of the processed/total amount of chunks.
Possible usages I have in mind:
- Boss bar showing a progress of the fill task
- Action bar showing the status
- ...
This option isn't made available to change through a command as most people shouldn't change it. It's been made available for people who are running extremely low memory (and thus necessarily tiny) servers which have less than 768 MB memory available to their CraftBukkit server.
This option was mainly added for people wanting to follow Mojang's recommendation to load all important world chunks in 1.6.3 - 1.6.4 before updating to the eventual 1.7 release to prevent errors with structures such as witch huts and nether fortresses:
