👾 New Mod Update 👾

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed incompatibility with VMP
• Fixed dead entities staying visible to clients as unremovable ghosts
• Fixed mob farms spawning much slower with enableAsyncSpawn
• Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException during async spawning
• Fixed the ender dragon no longer landing or shooting fireballs
• Fixed chunk corruption on save caused by unsynchronized palette access
• Fixed one failing chunk cancelling the remaining spawn attempts in a tick
• Fixed a crash with mods that cache the ticking chunk list (ServerCore)
• Fixed enableAsyncSpawn rebuilding the spawn state on the main thread every tick on large worlds
• Fixed a race in Lithium's block change trackers that could lose trackers or throw during a block change
• Fixed hopper minecarts writing to a container while another mob hauled from it, losing or duplicating items
• Fixed entities continuing to tick past the barrier when the server thread was interrupted
• Fixed natural spawning silently going quiet in some dimensions
• Fixed mob spawning skipping ticks: spawn state is now rebuilt on the main thread every tick instead of an async recompute that could lag or be skipped

⚡ Improvements

• Improved block reads: the palette no longer takes a lock to read
• Improved mob spawning: thread-local random, and the mob cap check no longer serializes every worker
• Improved thread pool utilization and reduced barrier overhead
• Reduced lock contention with Lithium, VMP and C2ME
• Default thread count now scales down from the logical thread count, leaving room for the main thread and GC
• Simplified async spawning to dispatch each tick's batch as a single background task instead of splitting it across the pool
• Improved async chunk access with a per-thread last-chunk cache and safer fallback when the worker pool is unavailable
• Improved the parallel tick barrier: the main thread now helps drain the work queue instead of idling while workers finish
