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.
leaving out turtle helmet for now because of complications relating to the effect application - I REALLY don't want to tick armour if I can avoid it, due to the performance concerns.
these are items that do nothing and/or are only used for crafting. As such they are simple to add.
Others will be added later on, but others require extra work and/or reverse engineering which I don't have time for now.
Totem usage can be detected using the MODIFIER_TOTEM constant of EntityDamageEvent.
This does not currently support using the totem in the offhand because offhand is not implemented yet.
This supports vanilla placement of paintings, with overlap and collision checking.
Paintings are removed when a block is placed inside them or if any of their supporting blocks are removed.
As per vanilla, a random painting is chosen from the largest subset that will fit into the given space.
Currently an ItemBlock is created for every Block requested, but this will need to change in the future (for Anvils because they have stupid bitshifts on the meta instead of a nice bitmask). This allows registering items in the ItemFactory with IDs lower than 256 and having them recognized.
These are never called accidentally, or at least it's highly unlikely to do so. It might be reasonable to throw exceptions for this, but for the meantime they are redundant - extra indentation for no good reason.
This also removes the $force parameter from BlockFactory::init().
Wanting initialized item factory does not require initializing the creative inventory. This is often useless and unwanted extra baggage (when this is used on threads for example).
the count parameter is useless since Item ctor should now only be used for constructing item _types_, not actual items. All item creations for inventories etc, should go through the ItemFactory.
