🧩 ChatBrawl – Update Changelog

🚫 Blocks Tournament Anti-Cheese

This update introduces a robust anti-cheese system for the Blocks tournament gamemode, preventing players from gaining progress by placing and immediately breaking blocks.

Added

• In-memory tracking of player-placed blocks using block position + world/dimension as a key
• Configurable time-to-live (TTL) for tracked blocks to prevent memory bloat
• Periodic cleanup of expired entries during gameplay
• Optional debug logging to verify tracking behavior during development

Improved

• Reliable handling of Hytale’s block break quirk where a break event may report the block as Empty
• Anti-cheese enforcement is based on tracker membership, not unreliable event block IDs
• Tracker is cleared automatically when a Blocks tournament starts or ends

Behavior

• Blocks placed by players during a Blocks tournament do not grant progress when broken
• Once a tracked block is broken, it is removed from the tracker to prevent repeated processing
• System is thread-safe and optimized for tournament-scale maps
