It's not guaranteed that objects provided are the same as those in the enum registry, so they can't be directly compared.
Implementing comparison with === would require some kind of __equals() implementation or an extension to hook into such functionality.
This has been a pain point for a long time due to the misleading nature of the name "level". It's also confusing when trying to do things like getting the XP level of the player or such, and also does not translate well to other languages.
This transition was already executed on the UI some time ago (language strings) and now it's time for the same change to occur on the API.
This will burn a lot of plugins, but they'll acclimatize. Despite the scary size of this PR, there isn't actually so many changes to make. Most of this came from renaming `Position->getLevel()` to `Position->getWorld()`, or cosmetic changes like changing variable names or doc comments.
the timeout was entirely useless, because:
- when shorter than 25.6 seconds (512 ticks) it would cause caches to be needlessly destroyed and regenerated
- when longer than 25.6 seconds, just made outdated caches persist for longer, even after the query info was regenerated.
This now uses a mark-dirty model to deal with caches, which means that plugin modifications to the query data will be reflected immediately, regardless of when they are made. Previously, modifying the result of Server->getQueryInformation() would have inconsistent results.
For many years, this has been the cause of many users (particularly plugin devs) confusion. The reality is that /reload has little to no practical value. It does not reload plugin source code (contrary to popular belief).
getOfflinePlayerData() will now return NULL if there is no stored data for a given player. The responsibility of checking the spawn point is now delegated to the Player, after it registers a chunk loader on its spawn chunk.
