I had a few users test this update, one saw a whopping 45% improvement in performance. Moving forward, update logs will mention only what’s important, I will focus more on words and explaining in simple ways the progress that has taken place.

1. Optimized code that is responsible for calculating bouncing, vehicles, collisions, elytra & liquids.
2. Rewrote a significant part of the Wave feature after receiving useful user feedback.

3. Implemented experimental support for the Folia fork, expect issues even though I paid attention to all code.
4. Replaced tons of Java objects with their original interface to decrease memory usage.
5. A lot more was changed that's not worth to document, enjoy.

1. Enhanced the KillAura check with new and existing improved detections.
2. Rewrote the Criticals damage detection to support players but also balanced its learning process.
3. Enhanced the IrregularMovements hop & jump detections with more accurate calculations.
4. Enhanced the MorePackets blink detection with better detection speeds.
5. Provided extra stability to the learning process of the Velocity check.
6. Updates will now contain what truly matters instead of roughly all changes made.

• Previously Spartan would take averages of all player violations, divide them by the days of data, and check who was ahead the average to consider them a hacker. This has several critical problems however, such as:
  1. Averages do not account for the plugin version, which has an impact on the stability over a timespan.
  2. Averages do not account for individual detections, which react differently per gameplay, etc.
  3. Averages do not account for individual days, which can have vastly different data depending on the circumstances.
  You get the point, Spartan is moving away from averages which create a black/white picture and will implement more advanced mathematics in order to get more variety and more precision at the same time.

1. The False Positive identification algorithm has been rewritten to offer more accurate results but also better and faster stability.
2. The Performance Optimizer feature has been incorporated into the Player Profile object as the whole profiling system has also been rewritten.

4. Removed a lot of unnecessary objects, enums & classes and replaced them with more organized code.
5. The Information Analysis object has been incorporated into the Player Violation object to allow it to be warmed up and as a result take less resources from the CPU.

7. The Research Engine sub-cache will now be refreshed when its responsible thread is not currently being used to prevent overloading it and calculating unnecessarily.
8. Adjusted the False Positive Detection to be slightly more lenient, especially with non-hacker players by using universal variables.
9. Adjusted the False Positive Detection to take the memory it needs to avoid unnecessary iterations.
10. Restored the mention of false positives in the detection notifications as originally supposed.
11. Slightly improved the punishment algorithm by checking if a player had significant evidence in the past.
12. Restored some of the description functionalities in the Manage Checks inventory menu.
13. Removed the identification of problematic detections as it wasn’t being used to its full potential.
14. Balanced the KillAura raytrace detection in regard to how close an entity should be to block the path of the hit.
15. Slightly improved the Linear Regression math algorithm with better use of lists.
16. Several of Spartan’s threads have been adjusted to run on the main thread if the thread is not free to avoid delaying important interactions.

30. A lot of systematic limitations related to bedrock players have been removed due to the checks having improved.
31. Rewritten important parts of the Maximum Checked Players and Detection Tick features to optimize performance more.
32. Replaced several on-ground methods with the on-ground counter method of the Spartan Player object.
33. Significantly improved the way the reporting system forms check relations when a player is reported.
34. Noticeably improved the Config utilities by spreading the cache to each message for faster replacement.
35. Removed complex replacing of syntax as it is no longer in use by any possible user.
