This happened because "joining" wasn't cleared until the player was ticked. Runnables (presumably) ran _after_ the player list packet was sent, but before the player was ticked; thus, the player list packet was sent, but not cleared. The fix is to replace joining with hasSentListPacket, which is set immediately before sending any player list packets (thus, if hidePlayer is called after, it sees that the list packet has been sent and sends a new one to reset it). With this fix, the player is added to the list and then removed shortly afterwards.
The reason why running /hideall in the example wouldn't fix the invisibility is because the server already thinks the player's been removed from the list (as they're hidden), and thus doesn't want to send another hide packet. This is correct behavior assuming that they get hidden correctly the first time, which they now do.
More APIs to follow pending feedback of whether this is the preferred implementation. Methods marked as deprecated and subject to change, but work as is.
Up until Minecraft version 1.5 it was not possible to teleport entities
within vehicles. With the 1.5 update came the change in the Minecraft
teleportation logic to dismount before teleporting the entity, if
applicable.
This commit ammends the existing CraftBukkit logic for rejecting
teleportation for entities in vehicles to permit the action. Due to this
change, CraftBukkit is now in-line with Minecraft 1.5 teleportation logic.
Currently, plugins can set a player's display name to null, which could
cause issues for other calls to getDisplayName that aren't expecting a null
value. This changes setDisplayName to follow the same logic as
setPlayerListName, which sets the player's name back to their unmodified
"vanilla" name if it receives a null value as a parameter.
Bans require a name and UUID but our API only allows for a single string
identifier for a ban entry. Until this is sorted out go back to the old
name based setup since we can always get a UUID given a name.
The server's check is for whether or not a player can pass the whitelist
not just if the player is on it. That seems like more useful information
but the API has always just checked if they are on it so this commit
restores that.
