this was originally worked around by 47f7af6739. However, that commit was just duct tape, and I never bothered to investigate if the config was being checked somewhere else.
Here's to a years-old bug finally getting fixed.
while annoying, PHPStan is right to complain about this, because putBool() is impure, meaning that these fields could have been mutated in the call.
We know they didn't, but PHPStan doesn't, and we can't mark the method as pure because .. well .. it isn't.
while it's true that you might be able to skip the CPU waste from verifying a player's login just to find out that they are banned, this is generally a minority case anyway, so it doesn't make a lot of difference overall. This additional note is essentially a recommendation premature optimisation, which will likely lead to people making security mistakes.
this occurred because of transactions arriving before MobEquipmentPacket updating the player's own held item slot. This was only a problem while rapidly changing hotbar slots and simultaneously using items, like projectiles.

7.3 isn't actively tested anymore, and since 7.4 has been out for so long already, it doesn't make sense to keep pandering to users who can't be bothered to update their PHP binaries.
In most cases, these users are also experiencing problems caused by older versions of pthreads that were long since fixed.
In addition, pthreads is no longer tested or supported on 7.3, so users can't get newer bug fixes even if they wanted to.
