Carbon 5.0.0

Added

• Added new combat system, where projectile settings, the knockback dealt by projectiles and knockback dealt by players are split into three sub types of a single profile. (/combat).
• Added per-world default combat profile support.
• Added per world configuration for various world relation options.
• Added asynchronous chunk generation, allows for new chunks to be generated and populated off-thread.
• Added asynchronous chunk unloading to prevent chunk unloading from causing any sort of lag.
• Added asynchronous lighting engine, allows for chunks to be lit without causing any lag.
• Added asynchronous keep-alive to keep player's connections unaffected by server's main thread performance.
• Added built-in spark forked for carbon, resulting in better integration rather than just downloading the plugin.
• Added built-in bungeeguard to allow server owners to setup proxy security easily.
• Added anti-malware system that scans plugins folder on startup for SKYRAGE and HOSTFLOW and also attempts to remove them.
• Added /serverproperty command to change server properties in-game.
• Added /locate command to locate certain biomes or structures.
• Added ray-trace interpolation to resolve ghost hits from various projectiles. (Fixes rods/arrows going through players sometimes)
• Added health and item attributes obfuscation to prevent other players from using mods to find out your health/item attributes.
• Added lag-assisted hit detection that interpolates the target's position up to a certain limit to ensure ping does not worsen player hit detection.
• Added parallelized entity-tracker that is very performant, light weight and stable.
• Added vertical-range configuration for entity-tracker.
• Added sentry error logging support to tracker plugin errors.
• Added legacy XP handling, Anvil and Enchantment support.
• Added new raytracing engine to optimize CPU and memory usage.

• Added a built-in CPU profiler that profiles CPU usage. (/carbon startprofiling)
• Added configuration to toggle saving chunks, useful for mini-game servers.

• Added configuration to change player-interaction-range, this is an attribute in modern versions.
• Added configuration to toggle footstep sounds and particles to prevent lag.

Fixed

• Fixed ghost lava/water bug, where lava or water blocks would appear visually on the client when they aren't on the server.
• Fixed block hit cancel bug, where if you try to drop your sword while blocking and the drop was cancelled, you would stop blocking anyways.
• Fixed sprint desyncm where the client sprint state does not match the server sprint state, resulting in worse knockback. (Credits: Beanes)
• Fixed player visibility bugm where sometimes the viewer couldn't see a target after teleporting to them.
• Fixed broken clientside players, where sometimes the viewer would see the player spawned in a broken state with their head rotation glitching out.
