the only use for this class is to facilitate random runtime plugin loading, and it's not complete even for that purpose.
Since nothing but PM uses pocketmine/classloader anyway, it doesn't make sense to have it outside the core. As with LogPthreads, it's just adding more maintenance work.
this is now supported thanks to the object rescue feature implemented in pthreads 5.1, making returning of thread-safe values from async tasks possible.
This needs to be explicitly supported, since otherwise it will attempt to serialize them, which isn't supported anymore.
right now, I don't see an obvious reason to do this. If it turns out I was wrong later on, we can add functionality back, but we can't remove functionality after release.
This reverts commit f64dc01bd1.
I forgot that the ItemBlock constructor implicitly strips off any states
of the origin block, which is something that we unfortunately can't do
any other way right now, since the blocks don't remember their default
states.
due to technical limitations, this requires separating them back into two different block types. However, this isn't too egregious since it's just one flag, and actually simplifies some code.
closes#5478
the following things are currently not implemented:
- particle/sound effects when an entity extinguishes itself
- particle/sound effects when mixing different stuff in a cauldron
- powder snow cauldron
both of these things are contingent on #5169, but for the time being, the PR is functionally complete and I want to move on to something else without being stalled by the particle+sound problem (which I haven't yet decided how to solve).
