this is not used in the PM core, and is only used by 1 plugin in the whole public ecosystem: BigBrother. It makes more sense to make BigBrother maintainers shoulder the responsibility of maintaining this code, since they are the only ones that need it - besides, if this changed in any MCJE update in the last 5y, nobody has updated it, and nobody has maintained it either due to not having a fucking clue what the thing is for (the documentation is basically nonexistent).
