ChunkSpawnerLimiter v5.0.0

v5.0.0 is a complete rewrite of ChunkSpawnerLimiter, focused on performance.

---

Requirements

• Java 21+
• Minecraft 1.8.8 → 1.21.10

---

Core Rewrite & Architecture

• Complete internal rewrite of CSL
• Major performance improvements across all systems
• Automatic Minecraft version detection for proper CraftBukkit/NMS handling
• Automatic world size detection — no manual configuration required
• Cached world lists in config (O(n) → O(1) access)
• Significant performance improvements in PluginConfig

---

Configuration Changes

• New unified configuration system

  • config.yml and blocks.yml merged
  • Removed obsolete options and added new ones
  • Stronger, more sensible defaults
    Default config:
    https://github.com/sarhatabaot/ChunkSpawnerLimiter/blob/5.0.0/src/main/resources/config.yml

• Optional entity group overrides via config

• Improved world enable/disable logic (exclude vs excluded handling fixed)

• Configurable periodic chunk inspection (default: every 60 seconds)

---

Entity Handling & Enforcement

• New mode system replacing kill-instead-of-remove

Available Modes

• enforce (default, recommended) – prevent spawn + remove excess

• enforce-kill – prevent spawn + kill excess

• prevent – prevent spawn if limit is reached (CreatureSpawnEvent)

• kill – kill excess entities

• remove – remove excess entities

• Automatic player killing when limits are exceeded (configurable)

• Spawn eggs are returned to players if consumed while a limit is already reached

• Improved entity/block removal logic

• Player notification system for chunk limit violations

---

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Major test suite expansion
• Separate test suites for:
  • Legacy versions (1.8–1.12)
  • Modern versions (1.17+)
  • Unit tests
• Improved concurrent testing stability
• Fixed race conditions and resource leaks
• Resolved missing dependencies and classpath issues

---

Technical Improvements

• Complete NMS Block Scanner rewrite
• Improved version compatibility and reliability
• Enhanced debug logging for NMS initialization
• Major performance fix for chunk unload handling

---

Bug Fixes

• Fixed CraftBukkit package detection (v1_20_R1, etc.)
• Fixed world filtering logic (isWorldDisabled)
• Fixed bad performance on chunk unload
• Fixed concurrent test race conditions
• Fixed test compilation and dependency issues

---

Build & Dependencies

• Added Adventure API, bStats, and correct API versions for tests
• Streamlined Gradle build configuration
• Improved shadow JAR relocation for better library compatibility

---

Upcoming (Post-5.0.0)

• Optional third-party region support (non-chunk based), low priority (5.1.0)
• Advanced per-entity preservation logic
