this will be useful for preventing resource pack sending from overloading the network.
it's not the best solution for that (since it means the RTT will limit the pack download speed), but it's easier than implementing congestion control and will work fine in most cases.
in particular, the information from VerifyLoginTask shouldn't be sent to clients, as it could contain sensitive information.
This change only affects disconnection screens. The server log shows the same amount of information as before (though formatted differently in some cases).
a couple of usages of properties that no longer exist couldn't be migrated.
in addition, this revealed a couple of dead properties in the default file.
this is not an ideal solution (I'd much rather model the configs using classes and map them) but in the absence of a good and reliable library to do that, this is the next best thing.
until now, any thread crash would show as a generic crash since we aren't able to get the trace from the crashed thread directly. This uses some dirty tricks to export a partially serialized stack trace to the main thread, where it can be written into a crashdump.
This enables us to see proper crash information for async tasks in the crash archive (finally!!!) as well as being able to capture RakLib errors properly.
there's a bunch of places we can't reach with this right now:
- particles
- sounds
- tile NBT
- entity metadata
- crafting data cache
- chunk encoding
- world block update encoding
this is a work in progress, but ultimately we want to get rid of these singletons entirely.
since this is contextless (there's no way to know the version of the client requesting the MOTD), we can safely assume that this is not going to vary between protocol versions.
this gives a bit more control over how packets are broadcasted, which might be useful if the batch format changes (e.g. adding a length prefix) for multi version.
This really ought to be unique to a protocol context instead of a network interface, but for now this is the best we can do.
