This commit brings the InventoryClickEvent up to date with the new Minecraft
changes in 1.5.
InventoryDragEvent (thanks to @YLivay for his PR) is added to represent the
new "dragging" or "painting" functionality, where if you hold an itemstack and
click-drag over several slots, the items will be split evenly (left click) or
1 each (right click).
The ClickType enum is used to represent what the client did to trigger the
event.
The InventoryAction enum is reserved for future expansion, but will be used to
indicate the approximate result of the action.
Additionally, handling of creative inventory editing is improved with the new
InventoryCreativeEvent, and handling of numberkey presses is also improved
within InventoryClickEvent and CraftItemEvent.
Also, cancelling a creative click now displays properly on the client.
Adresses BUKKIT-3692, BUKKIT-4035, BUKKIT-3859 (new 1.5 events),
BUKKIT-2659, BUKKIT-3043, BUKKIT-2659, and BUKKIT-2897 (creative click events).
Metadata values keep strong reference to plugins and they are not
cleared out when plugins are unloaded. This system adds weak reference
logic to allow these values to fall out of scope. In addition we get
some operations turning to O(1) "for free."
The metadata system generates unique keys for metadata entries based on
the subject metadata is being applied to and the name of the metadata
being applied. It was assumed this would be an expensive operation so a
cache was put in place to ensure this was done as little as possible.
In reality this cache only has a benefit when you have a hit rate above
~90% and is otherwise much slower. As the implementation of the cache is
a hashmap of hashmaps it also uses a significant amount of memory which
is not worth it even for the performance increase with a high hit rate.
This commit simply removes the cache which results in speedups for most
cases and large memory savings.
FixedMetadataValue currently just extends LazyMetadataValue with a value
that never changes. While this works it is a lot of unneeded overhead
that causes FixedMetadataValue to be a lot slower and use a lot more
memory than one would expect. To correct this we store the value directly
in FixedMetadataValue and override the the appropriate methods to use it.
Ideally we would modify FixedMetadataValue to no longer extend
LazyMetadataValue as this would give a very large memory savings. However,
this is not currently done for backwards compatibility reasons.
Implementing the MetadataValue interface is significant work due to
having to provide a large amount of conversion stub methods. This commit
adds a new optional abstract base class to aid in implementation.
The implementation is designed around having both a main scoreboard and
numberous plugin managed scoreboards that can be displayed to specific
players.
Plugin managed scoreboards are active so long as a reference is kept by a
plugin, or it has been registered as a player's active scoreboard. Objects
specific to a scoreboard remain active until unregistered (which remove a
reference to the owning scoreboard), but quickly fail if accessed
post-unregistration.
This event is being called whenever a block or entity (e.g. hopper) tries to
move an item from one inventory to another inventory (one inventory may be
the hopper itself).
This change is breaking for the new API for 1.5, including the interfaces for
the three new Minecart types and the name of the previously TNT_MINECART
material.
This change also deprecates the two previous specific minecart types located
in the org.bukkit.entity package. This deprecation is not a breaking change
and will still be internally supported.
Each minecart type has new javadoc to be slightly more descriptive. Included
with this are specific references to the interface for each respective
EntityType entry. Another package-info.java file has been included as well.
All specific minecart types extend minecart, each with a more descriptive
name. The naming will also follow the old convention. In addition, the
minecart with no specific designation is now more closely referred to as a
rideable minecart.
