Spartan AntiCheat For Java

Corrected a few existing and potential null-pointer-exception console errors caused by threads running fully or partially asynchronously.

News:
The potential performance improvements mentioned in the previous update’s news were unfortunately not successful, as the changes caused additional performance usage instead of an increase. Fortunately, I was able to optimise the Movement listeners with stricter limitations, so they aren’t called so many times as previously.

Logs:
Slightly improved the Building & Damage protection handlers with more specific methods.
Slightly improved the Self Hit protection handler with requirement to not have bypass permissions.

News:
Even though Spartan is very optimised for the player count it targets, I have plans to improve it even further. Therefore, I will be attempting some innovative optimisations in the next update, which should decrease performance usage in the 2-digit percentage scale. For now, this update aims to bring the plugin to a near perfect state for the upcoming changes.

Logs:
Corrected a few FastBreak nylium blocks false positives.
Slightly improved the Fly & FastBreak check with faster methods.
Bypass permissions players will no longer be affected by the Building protection handler.

Corrected a few KillAura combined & HItReach horizontal TPS drop false positives.
Corrected a few ImpossibleActions scaffold wood block stripping false positives.

Corrected an issue where the FastBreak check's detections would be called twice, therefore causing false positives.

News:
Most of Spartan’s KillAura detections have long been known to work in specific situations. This update unifies the reasons that cause them to enable, which will allow several of them to enable and detect hackers in much broader situations. Furthermore, the handlers responsible for supplying combat checks with information has also been improved to cover broader situations.
This update aims to improve the consistency and minimalistic appeal of this plugin. As of now, the Liquids check is part of the ImpossibleActions check, the Nuker check is part of the FastBreak check & the IllegalPosition check is part of the Exploits check. These changes should improve the user experience in terms of understanding.

Logs:
The settings.yml option “Logs.log_console” has been added back as a secret option.
Greatly improved the Spartan Block object with improved sharing of information.
Slightly improved the Spartan Location object with new useful methods.

Nuker.max_breaks_per_second

News:
Spartan’s Location object has once again been improved to share its data with other objects in better & faster ways, resulting in less information requested from the server, thus less system resources used and no lag.

Logs:
Verbose notifications will no longer be logged to the console so frequently.
The Cloud feature will no longer log connection errors for the Cross Server Notifications feature if not configured.
Corrected a ProtocolLib compatibility null-pointer console error.
Corrected a ProtocolSupport compatibility illegal-state console error.

Slightly improved the Spartan Player object with more universal methods.
The Developer Report feature will now support the last 3 versions instead of just the latest.

News:
This update gives more attention to the plugin’s configuration, handlers, features & systems, which is good to do once in a while. Outdated codes have been taken care of, a few codes have been further optimised, several codes have been extended with more capabilities, and many codes have ultimately become more minimalistic, reducing the complexity of the configuration files.

Logs:
Corrected a few IrregularMovements jump silent check false positives.

Settings.yml Changes:
-
Removed:
Punishments.wave_broadcast_message
Punishments.run_wave_if_its_full
Logs.log_file_limit
Logs.log_console

News:
The Location object will now attempt to maintain block data up to a second, will no longer cache block data when a location is cloned, and its chunk method calls have been completely eliminated. These changes should dramatically decrease chunk calls and greatly reduce the plugin’s performance usage.
The ImpossibleActions scaffold detection will now safely check players travelling at way lower than walking speeds, which was the previous breaking point. It does that by calculating manipulations in the player's direction and understanding if they should or should not be placing a block.

Logs:
Corrected a few MorePackets above block false positives.
Bedrock Edition Detections is now a feature available only to Syn customers.
Implemented a new checks.yml configuration option. (BlockReach.overall_distance)

Noticeably improved the Debug feature with reduced decimal & word length to prevent chat spam.
Corrected a minor bug in the Debug feature where an entity would be mentioned as an object and not type.
Slightly optimised the BoatMove check with less string comparisons.
Cloud feature will from now on notify high permission players if the Spartan version is outdated.

Corrected several null-pointer console errors caused by the Location object not having loaded its Block object with information.

News:
The Asynchronous Detections feature was recently brought back to life. Unfortunately, some of its users had abnormally high amounts of false positives, server lag, or both. This update targets these issues by improving the synchronisation of object information between different threads, but also collectively running processes every tick instead of assigning each process to a reusable thread or otherwise its queue. This feature still remains experimental.
Spartan has been further optimised in this update, by having its Location object no longer call chunks to retrieve block information when not required. This change should improve many situations where the code of a check’s detection doesn’t logically progress to its full potential.

Logs:
Corrected a few remaining IrregularMovements step script-based feature false positives.
Slightly optimised the IrregularMovements step detection with less method calls.
Noticeably improved the Elytra handler by using ViaVersion to identify the player’s version.

Slightly optimised the Fly check with less method calls.
Slightly optimised the Player utilities with unnecessary method removals.
Corrected a few MorePackets limit related boat false positives.
Moved the MorePackets check to the main thread due to abnormal amounts of false positives.
Slightly improved the Fly check’s verbose information with more detailed descriptions.
Slightly improved the BoatMove check with faster detection codes.

Transferred some asynchronous processes related to block breaking, block placing & environment interacting to the main due to false positives.

News:
Spartan was previously compatible with Bedrock players by identifying them using the Bukkit version of Floodgate/Geyser & exempting them from all detections. A new settings.yml option has been introduced to help identify Bedrock players that are allowed access via BungeeCord/Proxy plugins. In addition, most of Spartan’s detections will now support checking Bedrock players, so server staff can have less stuff to worry about.
Spartan introduced Asynchronous Detections in the distant past. Due to some complications, a large part of this feature was forcefully disabled. This update resolves these problems and once again makes most of the plugin’s detections asynchronous.

Logs:
Reversed some very recent changes on the Fly check to prevent potential bypasses.
The Reports menu will now show reports of the last 3 days instead of all reports.
Check prevention will no longer take place for verbose users unless the server has 5 or less players.

Detections.fall_damage_on_teleport
Detections.ground_teleport_on_detection
Detections.run_asynchronously
Important.bedrock_player_prefix

Corrected an Elytra handler no-such-method console error for server forks based on 1.8 Minecraft or earlier.

News:
This update was released prior to its date to correct a lag issue several customers had to deal with. Build 374 introduced location caching, which also is included in Build 375, which unfortunately ended up causing lag instead of helping. I have reverted the changes and made additional improvements, so performance should be equal to Build 373 or even better.
A server refreshes most of its data 20 times in a second. This resource follows this frequency and checks players via many of its detections 20 times in a second. Movement checks are the heaviest, and most of them will now skip checking a player a few times per second in specific situations to help save performance.

Logs:
Corrected dozens of MorePackets boat liquid block false positives.
Slightly optimised the Liquid protection with faster methods.
Corrected several ImpossibleActions scaffold missing limit false positives.
Slightly improved the ImpossibleActions check by making it more lenient against scaffold hack modules.
Greatly improved the Trident handler by implementing support for unsafe enchantments.
Corrected a few Fly stable shulker box false positives.

Corrected a Spartan menu lag issue caused by the Reload item’s cache usage.
Corrected dozens of MorePackets long distance false positives.
Corrected a MineTinker compatibility console error by updating the dependency files.
Corrected dozens of elytra movement false positives caused by the NPC compatibility.

News:
This update was released prior to help locally stabilise the MorePackets check instead of using the Cloud feature, and ultimately allow further potential corrections to take place.
The plugin’s commands now come with the overly requested tab completion, but also descriptions briefly explaining their purpose. Some of them can also be clicked for their execution or a form of it to take place. This should help existing and especially new customers to better learn & use the plugin.
The Hacker Finder inventory menu now also includes player punishments as part of its descriptions. This has been an often requested feature and should help Syn customers to better & faster identify hackers while further eliminating false punishments.

Logs:
Corrected a trivial issue where some of the default config.yml punishments would start from the 2nd command.
Corrected a few remaining KillAura area mob/animal farming & mcMMO false positives.
Slightly improved the verbose information of the KillAura & MorePackets check by making them more compact.

The plugin’s command introduction now allows you to visit the plugin’s official website.
Slightly optimised the Command Execution handler with less method calls.
Potentially corrected several ImpossibleActions scaffold cached limit false positives.

News:
The MorePackets check has been completely rewritten. It was previously a collection of 5 detections, one of them being fairly unstable, hence also disabled by default. Now, it is one only detection supporting omnidirectional movements, vehicles & lower amounts of timer.
In the past, specifically in the release of Build 365, Spartan received a major optimisation which was the caching of directional locations. This ultimately reduced location calls by a lot and many users provided positive feedback. This update attempts to do the same with Spartan’s location object, which is responsible for over 90% of location calls.

Logs:
Completely rewritten the MorePackets check, ultimately reducing detections from 5 to just 1.

This has been made to help users better configure and understand the punishment system, but to also unify all check’s inconsistent sensitivity to a few methods. For more, read the plugin’s configuration section on the overview page.
Important cache will no longer be cleared when a player exits the server, to maintain long term stability but also prevent false positives in specific reconnect situations. However, as expected cache will be permanently lost if the server is restarted or the plugin fully reloaded, and a new one will be created.
