As discussed in #2297:
Honestly I don't see a fit purpose for async saving at all. It should either always be synchronous or always asynchronous, and at the user's own option. However, this isn't currently possible because Config doesn't enable you to get the serialized content without writing it to disk.
Consider the following code:
```php
for($i = 0, $size = $this->getServer()->getAsyncPool()->getSize(); $i < $size; ++$i){
$this->getServer()->getAsyncPool()->submitTask(new class extends AsyncTask{
public function onRun(){
sleep(5);
}
});
}
$config = $this->getConfig();
$config->set("steve", "hi");
$config->save(true);
$config->set("steve", "bye");
$config->save(false);
```
Output:
```yml
---
steve: hi
...
```
Expected output:
```yml
---
steve: bye
...
```
Additionally, if your configs are causing you performance issues when you're saving, it's a clear sign that
a) you're saving too much
b) you're abusing configs and should consider using a database.
Configs should be used for _simple_ data which does not change much. Configuration is such that the _user_ is expected to be able to modify it. As such, it should never be an issue to save synchronously.
In the future, something like ReactPHP may be introduced to allow proper async saving. When this happens, async saving would always be sequential but non blocking. Using threads for this makes no sense.
I wasn't sure whether this would be considered a bug fix or a feature. Nonetheless, it's a behavioural change, so it belongs in 3.1 if anywhere.
Prior to this, plugins would be required to call saveDefaultConfig() before calling getConfig() or anything else. Calling getConfig() without saveDefaultConfig() first would generate an empty configuration file. Instead, it now saves the default config before loading it.
I don't care if this matches PC behaviour or not. bugs.mojang.com is full of bug reports about this. Just search for "minecraft spawn protection not working" and you'll see what I mean.
If you want to disable spawn protection, actually disable it. This behaviour is something that most users are not aware of and find astonishing when they discover it.
This behaviour was copied from Minecraft PC, and it's nearly as unexpected there as it is here.
This commit reverses the stupidity done in eb0525e892219508d0c0e4602e835d5ddbacaf45.

There is still an issue in that the spawn point will not be offset if the chunk is not generated, but this is better than the spawn point being down at y=0. The other issue is a job for another time.
This is quite an interesting bug. If you have
```php
class A{
public function onMove(PlayerMoveEvent $event){} //shouldn't be a handler because this class isn't a Listener
}
class B extends A implements Listener{}
```
then
```php
registerEvents(new B, $plugin);
```
then `A::onMove()` will be registered as an event handler even though `A` is not an instanceof `Listener`.
This was observed by noting that plugins which do something like `extends PluginBase implements Listener` causes `registerEvents()` to try and register `PluginBase` methods as event handlers, which could lead to astonishing behaviour.

this fixes a potential exploit where clients could append JWTs signed with their own keys to the end of the chain containing fake XUID/UUID/username which would then overwrite the legitimate ones in earlier links.
This stems from the fact that the final link of the vanilla chain contains the client's own pubkey, so the client is able to append its own data to the end of the chain.
I considered making this instead save the default config instead of creating an empty config file, but that would be (albeit minor) a behavioural change which therefore belongs in 3.1.
this goes on 3.1 because it changes the behaviour of chunk cloning, which might possibly break some plugins, and this isn't a bug fix.
This should see no change in behaviour other than a minor performance improvement and slight reduction in memory usage.
