This is a significant breaking change for anything utilizing Tiles as they now do not store their NBT at runtime anymore.
This is another step in the process of ridding PocketMine-MP of runtime NBT.
It can be noticed that all tiles are now using class fields to store properties instead of NBT, which is much faster, uses less memory and is also more concise when written in code.
Highlights:
- Tile->namedtag has been removed.
- Tile->saveNBT() now accepts a CompoundTag() parameter. Typically it's expected that this will be fed a newly-created CompoundTag (this part may be improved in the future).
- New internal methods Tile->readSaveData() and Tile->writeSaveData() have been added. Instead of overriding __construct() and saveNBT() to load and save properties from NBT, you should now implement these methods instead.
This is not final and will see further changes before it's done.
* Do not create new NBT objects on Tile::getSpawnCompound()
* PocketMine's string formatting
* Remove more useless array indices and create lesser new NBT objects.
* Remove unused imports and type-hint Sign::setText() params
* Do not mess with Sign::setText() params due to #1204
* Fix formatting
* Make getSpawnCompound() final and add abstract addAdditionalSpawnData()
* Make the same changes for Bed tile
* Fix a missing "->" and remove some unneeded int casting.
- All entity and tile constructors now require a \pocketmine\level\Level instead of a \pocketmine\level\format\Chunk.
- Chunk->getProvider() and Chunk->setProvider() have been removed.
- Chunk::__construct() has had the $provider parameter removed.
- Chunk->unload() has had the unused $save parameter removed.
- ChunkEvents now take a Level parameter instead of going through the Chunk
API bump to 3.0.0-ALPHA4
