this now only drops consecutive packets with identical buffers, and only when instructed to.
This is good enough to fix both right- and left-click spam bugs as of 1.21.100.
hasNamedTag() rebuilds the NBT from item properties to decide if there's any NBT.
This is a waste of resources when we then fetch the tag to encode anyway.
TypeConverter: Strip unnecessary NBT from clientbound items
Item containers like shulker boxes, or chests with block entity data obtained with ctrl+middle click, will often have extremely large NBT payloads.
This problem gets exponentially worse in cases where it's possible to nest inventories, as in #4665.
We can't easily address this at the core level, because tiles are not able to exist within items (due to position requirement)
so we don't have a good way to avoid this useless NBT in the first place. However, we can strip it before the item is sent to
the client, which dramatically reduces the network costs of such items, as well as removing any reason the client could have
to send such enormous items to the server.
A fully loaded shulker box with written books now takes only 5-6 KB on the wire instead of ~1 MB, which is a substantial improvement.
Dealing with this in a less hacky way is currently blocked on #6147.
* Deprecate BaseSign get/set/updateText(), add get/set/updateFaceText() which accepts true/false for front/back
* add isFrontFace() to SignChangeEvent
* add optional frontFace to Player::openSignEditor()
* add BaseSign::getFacingDegrees() and getHitboxCenter() which need to be implemented by subclasses
we used to have this to prevent dependence on client ordering, and make ordering consistently not work.
However, since the introduction of the ItemStackRequest protocol, we don't expect to see client actions
in the wrong order anymore, so this shouldn't be needed anymore.
closes#6701
if we have only a name (the majority case), we can just return the name directly instead of an object.
this massively reduces the amount of noise in the files as seen in pmmp/BedrockData@f814036229
