all this time we've been harping at plugin devs to fix their own leaks, and here's one right under our noses that no one spotted for 10 years ...
this leak is rather common, since it will occur whenever a plugin attempts to save a resource which already exists in the data folder.
This bug was introduced in 2014 by commit 6328834681.
this produced a 40% performance improvement in a simulation with 800 item entities.
If the items were all different, then this would still be a problem. However, many of the same unstackable items occupying the same space is a problem for SkyBlock farms, so this should improve performance for SkyBlock quite a bit.
if users want these, they can broadcast them themselves using Server::broadcastMessage(), which will also record the message in the server log like chat
closes#5669
since we don't have a hard date for this, and I've already made one wrong educated guess, I'd rather not have another massive outage.
A security update will have to be made to remove the old key as soon as the new one is rolled. This is not ideal, but it's the least disruptive option.
fixes#5810
probably fixes#4986#5810 was caused by the workaround for #4394, which broke in 1.20 for reasons I'm still unclear on.
As FLAG_TELEPORT does not work at all for non-player entities, and causes bugs with player entities, sending the teleport movement without the flag is the least buggy way to solve all of these issues. Having the client interpolate teleport movements is not ideal, but there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably prevent it without causing even more bugs, so this will have to do.
due to the extremely large performance cost of instantiating AsyncTasks, it's usually not worth bothering with async compression except for very large packets.
While this large overhead can be significantly reduced by using specialized threads, it's early days in the testing stages for such improvements, and for now, we still have this to deal with.
Since async compression is always used prior to player spawn, this change may slightly improve the performance of the pre-join stage of the game.
