23 classes have been removed as they are no longer needed using the new
capture logic. This should help quite a bit with future MC updates.
BlockPlaceEvent Refactor
Before calling Item.interactWith, a recording flag is turned on for
setTypeAndData to capture a blockstate for each block that attempts to be set.
When a block place event is cancelled, the recorded blockstate, stack
size, and metadata will revert back to the captured state. If the event is
not cancelled, a notification will be sent to clients and block physics
will be updated.
BlockChangeDelegate Refactor
Now that we have the ability to capture blockstates through world, there
is no need to modify world gen classes with BlockChangeDelegate. Instead
we will simply capture blocks during world generation in order to "replay"
all of the captured blockstates to send back to delegates.
StructureGrowDelegate and BlockSapling.TreeGenerator have also been
removed as part of this change. BlockSapling and BlockMushroom will
capture blockstates the same as block placement and revert back any grow
events if needed.
When a block placement happens we currently update physics on the
attempted placement and update again if the placement is cancelled.
To correct the first one we simply set the block without applying
physics. To correct the second we have to add a new method to
BlockState that lets us update without applying physics and use
this method method when putting the block back.
Currently when a plugin wants to get the location of something it calls
getLocation() which returns a new Location object. In some scenarios this
can cause enough object creation/destruction churn to be a significant
overhead. For this cases we add a method that updates a provided Location
object so there is no object creation done. This allows well written code
to work on several locations with only a single Location object getting
created.
Providing a more efficient way to set a location was also looked at but
the current solution is the fastest we can provide. You are not required
to create a new Location object every time you want to set something's
location so, with proper design, you can set locations with only a single
Location object being created.
