Various bugs existed for a while with stuff using chunk managers instead of worlds when interacting with terrain due to a behavioural inconsistency between World::getChunk() (return from cache or load from disk), and SimpleChunkManager::getChunk() (return from cache only). This change brings the two in line.
World::getOrLoadChunk() has been added as a replacement, which has the same behaviour as the old getChunk() and also makes it more obvious that there is an issue with code using it during refactoring.
the expectation is that eventually this will receive arbitrary internal runtime IDs instead of static id/meta, and RuntimeBlockMapping doesn't really care about this crap anyway.
since the removal of EntityFactory::create() this isn't needed anymore, since these creation functions are only used for creating entities loaded from disk.
in pretty much every case, these usages really wanted to read the tag's contents anyway, which can be combined with a getTag() and instanceof call for more concise and static analysis friendly code.
In the few cases where the tag contents wasn't needed, it still wanted to check the type, which, again, can be done in a more static analysis friendly way by just using getTag() and instanceof.
I wonder if there's a way to generalise item consuming beyond just eating/drinking. Stuff like lava bucket in a furnace needs the same kind of "leftover" logic.
this fixes crashes and various bugs with death logic executing during the creation of entities, as well as an age-old Player crash after quitting the server when dying.
this commit removes the ability to replace centrally registered entity classes in favour of using constructors directly.
In future commits I may introduce a dedicated factory interface which allows an _actual_ factory pattern (e.g. factory->createArrow(world, pos, shooter, isCritical) with proper static analysability) but for now it's peripheral to my intended objective.
The purpose of this change is to facilitate untangling of NBT from entity constructors so that they can be properly created without using NBT at all, and instead use nice APIs.
Spawn eggs now support arbitrary entity creation functions like EntityFactory does, allowing much more flexibility in what can be passed to an entity's constructor (e.g. a Plugin reference can be injected by use()ing it in a closure or via traditional DI.
this allows doing stuff like injecting plugin references to entity constructors for now. I want to make this more flexible still, but I've done about as much as I feel like doing today and don't want this disappearing into a stash to never be seen again.
this reduces the temptation to use it in high-level code, as well as making syncNetworkData() more useful (now it can export to many data collections, which means we can start to think about having a property cache per network session, which is more flexible)
