Fast block manipulation

Something I'm currently trying to do is place a mass of blocks (few hundred thousand+) without lagging out the server, Only thing I've found so far that could help me with it is the util provided by @desht https://github.com/desht/dhutils/bl...desht/dhutils/nms/v1_7_R2/NMSHandler.java#L17 but this uses NMS, and is out dated as some of the methods changed / dont return the same thing, or became private.

 

Tell me if you figure anything like that out, only way I could think of doing it is having a scheduler timer run through the blocks so it doesn't overload the server, but it wouldn't place instantly.

 

@mythbusterma Any opinions on this?

I've actually used that before, and it works well. I don't think it would be too hard to fix that up for newer versions. The idea is that every time you do a block update the normal way, it sends a notification to all nearby players, changing many blocks at once causes a lot of updates to go out.

Changing the blocks in memory (which amounts to updating an array) and sending the changes out to players in a chunk download is much, much faster and allows you to update millions at once without issue.

 

Only methods I don't know what the replacements are is

Code:

if (j >= that.b[i1] - 1) {
that.b[i1] = -999;
}

Code:

block1.f(that.world, l1, j, i2, k1);

Code:

!that.world.worldProvider.g);
