Allowing only non-zero BlockIterators breaks an API contract explicitly allowing them
(*eyeroll*)
And loading chunks earlier in the TP patch did not resolve the original issue, and now
that it is resolved, shouldn't actually provide any tangible benefits
By default, this logic would loop endlessly trying to fill the world
with entities until it hits the worlds spawn.
This patch will cap the # of attempts to so that the tick does not spend
extra long time on mob spawning
If a plugin hacks into NMS and triggers entity removal, it could
result in an entity being attempted to remove from the chunk twice.
The 2nd pass will return false, as it did not find the entity in the list.
We should not touch entity counts if the entity was not removed, to avoid
going negative.
Spigot drastically altered vanilla mob spawn logic and caused a few issues.
1) Used only spawnable chunks vs entire world for entity counting, resulting in ignoring
other entities in the world, and causing the world to go over its intended limit.
Specially with servers using smaller mob spawn ranges than view distance, as well as affects spawning API
2) Spigot was using 16x16 division instead of vanilla 17x17 division.
Issues got worse in 1.9 due to more chunks being loaded due to 1.9 changes, that fall out
of the monster spawn radius.
This patch returns mob counting to use all loaded chunks, and 17x17 division.
Previous fix for SPIGOT-1903 only applied to world changes, but many other
cases of players been teleporting can cause that same bug. So call it any time
setPosition is called to ensure we never falsely trigger "moved too quickly"
And this commit may be considered evil to some people.
Disable GPG signing before AM, slows things down and doesn't play nicely.
There is also zero rational or logical reason to do so for these sub-repo AMs.
It's re-enabled (if needed) immediately after, pass or fail.
Given GitHub's recent push for GPG signing, and our own testing, this is not
only helpful, but necessary.
