Impact assessment by core usage search and poggit suggests that the impact of this change will be close to zero.
However, since it changes behaviour which plugins might be unknowingly relying on, it's going into 4.1 rather than a patch release.
when a block has sole ownership of an ID, the state bitmask can be ignored and we can just claim the whole metadata range for that single block.
This fixes a large number of issues with unknown blocks on older worlds where world editors did not remove the metadata, although update blocks will currently still appear on initial chunk send due to lack of AOT conversion (TODO).
this doesn't implement the server-side logic for the "stickiness" (slowdown) because we don't have the system needed for it yet.
It also doesn't have parity with vanilla on the damage.
while this is a bit hacky outside of the protocol namespace, it makes it much easier to use the protocol library for alternative purposes, such as for a client or MITM proxy.
It also removes all but one remaining core dependency of the protocol library, making it very close to being able to be separated from the server core entirely.
WorldProviders now have the following requirements removed:
- __construct() is no longer required to have a specific signature
- static isValid() no longer needs to be implemented (you will still need it for registering, but it can be declared anywhere now)
- static generate() no longer needs to be implemented
This paves the way for more interesting types of world providers that use something other than local disk to store chunks (e.g. a mysql database).
WorldProviderManager no longer accepts class-string<WorldProvider>. Instead, WorldProviderManagerEntry is required, with 2 or 3 callbacks:
- ReadOnlyWorldProviderManager must provide a callback for isValid, and a callback for fromPath
- WritableWorldProviderManagerEntry must provide the same, and also a generate() callback
In practice, this requires zero changes to the WorldProviders themselves, since a WorldProviderManagerEntry can be created like this:
`new WritableWorldProviderManagerEntry(\Closure::fromCallable([LevelDB::class, 'isValid']), fn(string ) => new LevelDB(), \Closure::fromCallable([LevelDB::class, 'generate']))`
This provides identical functionality to before for the provider itself; only registration is changed.
this implementation is working, although incomplete:
- The shulker close sound should not be played until the end of the shulker closing animation, which takes approximately 1 second.
- An open shulker box has a different collision box than a closed one - it should be +0.5 in whichever direction the shulker is facing. (During the animation, the bounding box also dynamically changes size - you can see this in vanilla by shooting an arrow into the top of an open shulkerbox facing UP, and then closing it - the arrow will fall and collide with the lid multiple times.
However, resolving both of these issues requires significant internal changes which are beyond the scope of this PR.
