SPIGOT-5228: Entities that are removed during chunk unloads are not properly removed from the chunk.This could lead to dead entities accumulating in memory over time if the
chunk never gets fully unloaded (as it is the case for chunks around the
spawn region).
The issue is that Minecraft processes the removal of these entities
during the next tick, when the chunk has already switched to state
INACCESSIBLE and can no longer be retrieved as usual.
For the purpose of removing dead entities fro...
SPIGOT-6304: Removed the detection of legacy text based on color codesApparently there are items and plugins out there that still use legacy
color codes within text components, and which thereby break this
heuristic.
Our remaining approach to differentiate between legacy (plain) and
modern (JSON-based) text is to check if a particular text can be parsed
as JSON-based text. This approach is not perfect either as there are
ambiguous cases that it cannot resolve co...
SPIGOT-6303: Interpret text that Gson considers to be an empty JSON document as legacy text.For example, this affects empty Strings, and Strings that consist only
of whitespace. In lenient mode this would also affect text that contains
comments, but that is not the case currently.
Minecraft's component parser (i.e. Gson) produces null for these texts
instead of throwing a parse exception. By interpreting this text as
legacy text we correctly create text components for them that contai...
#707, SPIGOT-5063, SPIGOT-5304, SPIGOT-5656, SPIGOT-3206, SPIGOT-5350, SPIGOT-5980, SPIGOT-4672: Persist the exact internal text representation where possible.Issues resolved by this:
* SPIGOT-5063: Internal text representation of ItemStacks changes during ItemStack serialization. This issue was initially primarily concerned with the conversion between color text attributes to legacy color codes.
* SPIGOT-5304: Internal text representation of ItemStacks changes when opening the inventory (in creative mode). In particularly, this issue is also concern...
#770: Send messages without sender with SYSTEM type againThis was the behaviour before the 1.16 update and made it so that any
message sent by a plugin was treated as a system message allowing the
player to disable chat messages while keeping access to commands.
After 1.16 disabling the chat also disabled any plugin output, this
restores the original behaviour.
