This supersedes addChunkPacket() in most cases, and has a more clear name. It broadcasts the given packet to every player who has the target position within their chunk load radius.
This can happen when a light source is removed and later encountering another light source to fill the gap. A higher light level may get set and then not propagated. This bug is difficult to explain, but fairly easy to reproduce.
Grass can cause issues here by requesting blocks randomly offset away from itself, which can cause silent chunk loading on chunk ticking. It also causes crashes if chunk autoloading is taken away, which is obviously undesired.
It was also noticed that player chunkloaders cause chunks to start getting ticked as soon as they load their first chunk, which is before the entity is visible to everyone else on the server. This is probably undesired behaviour.
This reverts commit 3bb450244f.
PhpStorm you lying piece of shit... you only showed me the usages in Level!
This change should be revised and redone later.
chunkloader ID is completely unnecessary extra complication. spl_object_hash() would be fine for this as well, but a number is better. Since it's unique for the object lifetime (and the Level keeps a ref to loaders) this system should work just fine.
This has the triple bonus effect of a) making a lot of code easier to read, b) reducing Server::getInstance() usages, and c) removing a whole bunch of Server dependencies.
The network and block namespaces are untouched by this commit due to potential for merge conflicts. These should be dealt with separately on master.
It was still possible to produce undefined behaviour by creating a db folder in a region-based world, or adding regions to a leveldb world. This now solves the problem completely by refusing to load the world if multiple formats match the world.
