From c5a10665b8b80af650500b9263036f778f06d500 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjarne Koll Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2024 16:36:07 +0200 Subject: Remove wall-time / unused skip tick protection (#11412) Spigot still maintains some partial implementation of "tick skipping", a practice in which the MinecraftServer.currentTick field is updated not by an increment of one per actual tick, but instead set to System.currentTimeMillis() / 50. This behaviour means that the tracked tick may "skip" a tick value in case a previous tick took more than the expected 50ms. To compensate for this in important paths, spigot/craftbukkit implements "wall-time". Instead of incrementing/decrementing ticks on block entities/entities by one for each call to their tick() method, they instead increment/decrement important values, like an ItemEntity's age or pickupDelay, by the difference of `currentTick - lastTick`, where `lastTick` is the value of `currentTick` during the last tick() call. These "fixes" however do not play nicely with minecraft's simulation distance as entities/block entities implementing the above behaviour would "catch up" their values when moving from a non-ticking chunk to a ticking one as their `lastTick` value remains stuck on the last tick in a ticking chunk and hence lead to a large "catch up" once ticked again. Paper completely removes the "tick skipping" behaviour (See patch "Further-improve-server-tick-loop"), making the above precautions completely unnecessary, which also rids paper of the previous described incompatibility with non-ticking chunks. --- patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) create mode 100644 patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch (limited to 'patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch') diff --git a/patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch b/patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5c5d419332 --- /dev/null +++ b/patches/server/0283-Server-Tick-Events.patch @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Aikar +Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 22:48:45 -0400 +Subject: [PATCH] Server Tick Events + +Fires event at start and end of a server tick + +diff --git a/src/main/java/net/minecraft/server/MinecraftServer.java b/src/main/java/net/minecraft/server/MinecraftServer.java +index 8ecfd7a3daa99dabe796d28d27790fb8b45c628b..ddc3da84c5a55d2cd977fcdb18121351606a6b3c 100644 +--- a/src/main/java/net/minecraft/server/MinecraftServer.java ++++ b/src/main/java/net/minecraft/server/MinecraftServer.java +@@ -1433,6 +1433,7 @@ public abstract class MinecraftServer extends ReentrantBlockableEventLoop
