LootGlow v1.4.5 - Particle & Lighting Performance Overhaul & Technical Documentation Update
[​IMG]
  • Heavyweight Particle Optimization (Zero Memory Churn): Re-engineered the high-frequency particle task (startParticleTask) from the ground up for ultimate performance:
    • Cached Config Tree Lookups: Removed all getConfig() calls inside nested player-item loops. The particle size configuration is now cleanly cached in memory on startup and reload.
    • Category DustOptions Pre-Calculations: Instead of instantiating millions of DustOptions objects per second (which creates high Garbage Collector pressure), all categories' dust options are now pre-compiled once and fetched instantly from a lightweight cache.
    • Eliminated Location Cloning: Removed all Location#clone() and Location#add() calls inside the loops. Calculations are now processed using high-performance primitive coordinates (double) directly in the native particle spawning call.
  • Premium Lighting Optimizations & Packet Filtering: Re-built the lighting task (startLightingTask) to maximize efficiency:
    • Pre-Built BlockData Cache: Pre-calculated all 15 possible BlockData states for Material.LIGHT during startup, completely avoiding expensive createBlockData() calls inside high-frequency loops.
    • No Redundant Block Queries: Calls to getBlockData() and getType() are now executed exactly once outside player loops, saving vital CPU cycles.
    • Inter-World Packet Filtering: Block updates are now sent exclusively to players inside the same world as the light source, preventing useless packet transmission and minimizing client-side rendering lag.
  • Full Technical Wiki & Documentation Synced: Brought spigot_wiki_bbcode.txt fully up-to-date with actual Java code features. Added documentation for previously missing keys:
    • Holograms: Added see-through and background settings.
    • RPG Drops: Added item-scale and block-scale options.
    • Grouping & Bags: Documented grouping radius, minimum items, grouping-by-category, owner-skin heads, and container clicks.
    • Physics & Motion: Documented bouncing max bounces, damping values, and aspiration speed.
    • Particles: Documented particle animation types (STILL, SPIRAL, CIRCLE).
  • Formatting & Bug Fixes: Fixed multiple broken BBCode closing tags inside the forum presentation files (e.g. [/B) changed to [/B]) and modernized all visual layouts with the brand new universal Discord banner.
