This prevents plugins sending wrong packets at the compiler level (or would, if we had a compiler). It's more robust than a getter for client/server and throwing an exception since a static analysis tool can detect faults created by sending wrong packets from the server. This is also used to deny service to dodgy clients which send wrong packets to the server to attack it.
this is in preparation for clientbound/serverbound packet separation. I did this already on another branch, but the changeset was dependent on a massive refactor to split apart packets and binarystream which i'm still not fully happy with.
future enhancements:
- make gamemode an object containing information about abilities that players have in this gamemode (gamemodes are just predefined ability sets)
- get the magic numbers out of the API
This is better for performance because these then don't need to be reevaluated every time they are called.
When encountering an unqualified function or constant reference, PHP will first try to locate a symbol in the current namespace by that name, and then fall back to the global namespace.
This short-circuits the check, which has substantial performance effects in some cases - in particular, ord(), chr() and strlen() show ~1500x faster calls when they are fully qualified.
However, this doesn't mean that PM is getting a massive amount faster. In real world terms, this translates to about 10-15% performance improvement.
But before anyone gets excited, you should know that the CodeOptimizer in the PreProcessor repo has been applying fully-qualified symbol optimizations to Jenkins builds for years, which is one of the reasons why Jenkins builds have better performance than home-built or source installations.
We're choosing to do this for the sake of future SafePHP integration and also to be able to get rid of the buggy CodeOptimizer, so that phar and source are more consistent.
This was removed way back in 2016 because of an unidentified bug which caused permissible commands not to show up on the client. Back then, command parsing and validity checks were client-sided, and the client would simply not send the command at all if it didn't recognize it. Now, that problem is gone, so it doesn't matter as much if there are permission bugs which cause commands to be erroneously missing.

this bug has existed for so long I forgot it was still here. People stopped pestering me to do something about it, and as a result I forgot to do anything about it.
This hack isn't perfect, but it filters out the worst of the noise. It has side effects for legitimate fast double-clicks, but I don't think anyone will be too bothered - just click more slowly.
This hack may also have negative side effects on poor connections where latency spikes are a problem, but there isn't really much that can be done about that.
Always order chunks ASAP on chunk change, not just during the spawn sequence. This fixes the sluggishness observed in BlockSniper when doing async chunk modifications.
This allows plugins to more easily control the behaviour of server-full, whitelisting and banning. A message can be assigned for each, with a plugin custom reason taking the final priority if set.
This system solves several edge case problems in the Bukkit version by allowing kick reasons to be combined, so that removing one kick reason will roll back the final reason to the next highest, instead of just allowing the player through completely.
Only one message will be shown at point of disconnection, for consistency with the old behaviour.
The message priority is as follows (for all cases, only if set):
- Plugin reason
- Server full
- Whitelist enabled
- Player is banned
This also brings us one step closer to separating Player and NetworkSession.
Previously the only way to deal with this was to cancel the PlayerKickEvent generated by lack of authentication. Now, plugins can decide whether auth should be required for a specific player. The default is whatever xbox-auth is set to in server.properties.

this technically involves non-breaking API changes which should happen on a patch release, but I can't be bothered with the dust cleanup, so we'll just blow it away now. It doesn't hurt anyone anyway.
This supersedes addChunkPacket() in most cases, and has a more clear name. It broadcasts the given packet to every player who has the target position within their chunk load radius.
This reverts commit 3bb450244fda8c2e7050e44e8a392960ef63f02f.
PhpStorm you lying piece of shit... you only showed me the usages in Level!
This change should be revised and redone later.
