Surveyor 2.0.0+1.21-neoforge

Added

• New option debug, or the JVM argument -Dsurveyor.debug=true. It logs what Surveyor does to latest.log with the prefix [Surveyor/debug], for bug reports and test servers. Rare events get one line each: landmarks, POIs, structure discoveries, share groups, the world id and the map folder. Busy activity (chunk summaries, region files, packets, positions) is added up every 100 ticks. When it is off, it costs nothing.
• Test coverage for debug mode.
• Test coverage for chunk scan allocation.
• Test coverage for a config-screen label for every option, event-driven position sync and the poiLandmarksFromWorldgen option.
• Players in spectator mode or with invisibility no longer show on the maps of other players. Their last visible position stays. Option networking.hideHiddenPlayers. Closes surveyor#106.
• The wiki explains who sees whom on the map. The networking.positions option shows players anywhere in the world. Answers antique-atlas#393.
• New client event ExplorationReset for map mods. It fires when the share group of the player changes and the shared exploration is replaced, so map mods can drop areas that the new group did not explore. Together with the matching change in Antique Atlas for NeoForge, closes antique-atlas#343.
• Regression tests for landmark saving and packets.
• Regression tests for the terrain palette.
• Regression tests for region coordinates and encodings, packed terrain values and bitset helpers.
• Tests run inside FML, so they can use items, components and registries.
• Surveyor 1.2.4 runs natively on NeoForge 21.1 (Minecraft 1.21.1), without Sinytra Connector or Fabric API. It replaces the Connector build of the original. Features, mod id, save format and network format are the same as in the original.
• Regression tests for save ordering and group exploration, and source guards for thread and save rules.

Changed

• Structures no longer all stay in memory from startup. Surveyor reads a structure region when something asks for it, and drops it again when none of its chunks is loaded. The files are the same as before. Closes surveyor#115.
• A background thread records loaded chunks instead of the server thread. This removes the tick spikes when several players explore at the same time. The recorded map is the same. The option asyncChunkSummaries turns it off. Closes surveyor#148.
• Finding the players that receive a sent chunk no longer builds sets of players for every chunk.
• The region unload check runs on every chunk unload. It no longer creates hundreds of objects.
• The configuration file uses the NeoForge format. The recordIcons table became the disabledRecordIcons list.
• Recording a chunk no longer creates objects for every block that it scans.
• Map data is packed for sending only when a player will receive it.
• Player positions are sent only when someone moves or turns.
• The structure-discovery raycast runs only when your view changes.
• The shared map of a group is a live view instead of a copy of the exploration of every member.

Fixed

• Servers behind a proxy (Velocity, BungeeCord) that share a seed no longer overwrite each other's maps. The server keeps a world id in data/surveyor/world_id.dat and sends it when a player joins. The client keeps the map of that server in data/surveyor/<world id>/, copied one time from the old seed folder, which stays in place. Servers and clients without the world id keep the seed folder, and the network stays compatible with the original. Closes surveyor#131.
• In singleplayer, map mods can read landmarks while the built-in server changes them, without crashing.
• In singleplayer, map mods can read terrain palettes while the built-in server changes them, without crashing.
• Surveyor records chunks again after you join a server or open a world whose dimension has a different height than the one you played before in the same game session. Before, every chunk load failed there.
• Datapack dimensions that define their dimension type inline are recorded. Before, every chunk load failed there.
• A landmark saved as both present and removed is no longer deleted from the clients that know it.
• Removing landmarks while the landmark system is frozen no longer throws an error.
• When you join or leave a share group, the map drops the explored areas and structures of the old group. Before, they stayed on the map.
• A structure missing from the registry no longer crashes the server when a player walks into it or looks at it.
• The server no longer disconnects a player when it has a dimension that their client did not list at login, such as a dimension created during play.
• Mods that place structures through their own world-generation level no longer crash world generation.
• Lodestones and other tracked POIs that world generation places no longer make the server finish their chunk on the spot. That caused stalls, worse with C2ME. Surveyor adds their landmark after the chunk fully loads. The new option builtins.poiLandmarksFromWorldgen skips them completely. Addresses surveyor#136. Partly addresses surveyor#145 and surveyor#147: it fixes the stall, but not the deadlock that they report on 26.1, which cannot happen on 1.21.1.
• The Config button in the mod list opens a config screen with every option. Before, the button was disabled. This is the same bug as antique-atlas#390 and antique-atlas#372, which Antique Atlas for NeoForge closes on its side.
• A death by a named, enchanted weapon (Apotheosis, PvP) no longer crashes the server tick, or the client when it disconnects. Landmarks are saved and synced with registries, and the grave no longer keeps the item tooltip of the weapon. Closes surveyor#150 and surveyor#144.
• A landmark that Surveyor cannot read or write is left out and logged, and the rest of the save or packet goes through. Before, one bad marker disconnected a player on every rejoin. The network format is the same. Closes surveyor#149.
• Biomes that a mod does not register (End's Phantasm) and ids past the registry size no longer crash the chunk scan every time the chunk loads. Surveyor records them as the void biome or the default block. Closes surveyor#121. Hardens against surveyor#135, surveyor#141 and surveyor#142.
• A structure missing from the registry is skipped and logged instead of a crash. Hardens against surveyor#142.
• A connection without Surveyor data, such as a ReplayMod playback, no longer crashes the client. Closes surveyor#151.
• The terrain of a region is unloaded only after all of its chunks are. Before, the check looked at only a quarter of the region.
• Saving a region no longer scrambles terrain data when a value is above 32767.
• Saving can no longer lose map data. Before, a server that stopped right after an autosave, a crash during a file write, or two overlapping saves of one file could drop or corrupt a region.
• Singleplayer is safe from races between the game and its built-in server. These races could crash the game or drop chunks that were just recorded.
• Friends no longer show as offline after every autosave.
• Chunks you visit are recorded as explored even when the terrain system is off.
• Map mods are always notified on the game's own thread.
