Build 387 - Back To Stable
News:
Some parts of processes were moved to the main thread in Build 386, cancelling some of the recent performance improvements. This update corrects this by improving the ways heavy synchronised information is processed.
This update fixes many major issues created by recent updates. Build 386 did not create any new issues and served well as far as customers reported. However, it is time to go back to being extremely stable.

Build 383 - Future Performance Improvement Plans
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.

Build 382 - KillAura Check Improvements & Configuration Changes
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.

Build 379

Build 379 - Apparent Performance Improvements & Lower Scaffold Speeds
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)
Improved the BlockReach check with configurable limits and more detailed verbose information.
Improved the ImpossibleActions check with a better scaffold detection and more detailed verbose information.
Corrected a small negative version bug in the Cloud feature that caused no inconvenience.
Cloud feature will no longer disable IP Limited servers that have equal to or below 5 online players.
Greatly improved the Asynchronous Detections features with no functionality below 18 TPS.
Noticeably improved the Combat handlers with better tracking, more universal limits, & proper data manipulation.
Noticeably improved the KillAura check with faster detections, bug corrections & better verbose information.
Brought back the KillAura stability detection which was broken due to a cache bug.
Slightly optimised the Attempt utilities with less memory usage.
Corrected a few IrregularMovements bouncing blocks false positives.
Corrected several Jesus limit & horizontal below walls false positives.
Corrected a Piracy system cloud server issue that caused Spartan to disable for Polymart users.
Corrected dozens of Criticals damage & IllegalPosition rotations false positives caused by the Skript plugin.
Corrected several IrregularMovements step & Fly elytra false positives.
Noticeably improved the Elytra handler with better accounting for gliding.
Corrected a few Clip instant void falling false positives.
Brought back the NoFall spoof detection with completely rewritten functionality.
Implemented a new checks.yml configuration option. (NoFall.check_spoof)
Slightly optimised the Spartan Player object with less memory usage.
Corrected several MorePackets flowing liquid block elevation false positives.
Noticeably improved the Spartan Location object by forcing it to keep heavy cache for a bit and completely reducing chunk calls.
Slightly improved the IrregularMovements check with more detailed verbose information.
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.

Build 378 - Asynchronous Feature Corrections & Location Object Optimisation
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.
Noticeably improved the Player, Block, Combat & Move utilities with significant reduction in location calls.
Noticeably improved almost all checks with significant reduction in location calls.
Noticeably optimised & improved the Asynchronous Detections feature with code rewrites.
Slightly improved the Spartan Player object with new advanced methods.
Noticeably improved the Spartan Location object with a significant reduction in chunk calls.

Corrected a few IrregularMovements bouncing-blocks bed false positives.
Slightly improved the Spartan menu with more organised item descriptions.
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.

Build 377 - Bedrock Edition Detections & Asynchronous Feature Restoration
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.
Corrected several MorePackets speed potion effect, dolphin’s grace potion effect, depth strider boots & boat player latency false positives.
Slightly optimised the Player Limit Per IP feature.
Corrected a trivial number comparison bug in the Player Limit Per Ip feature.
Corrected a few Speed limit mcMMO false positives.
Replaced 2 settings.yml options with a new single option.
Moved 2 settings.yml options to a different configuration category.
Added a brand new settings.yml option to help identify bedrock players.
Fully brought back the Asynchronous Detections feature.
Implemented additional security to the Cloud feature.
Improved the plugin’s Test Server handler with broader detections.
Slightly improved the Exploits check with more proper detections.
Corrected a few ElytraMove fly trident false positives.
Made the Performance Optimizer feature less lenient & overall more strict.
Attempt utilities will now give extra time to KillAura detections when 1.9+ pvp mechanics are apparent.
Slightly improved the Cancel Violation handler with better exemptions.
Corrected a few Velocity zero distance MythicMobs compatibility false positive.
Corrected several Fly low ground elytra false positives.
Corrected a Ping command latency reset bug caused by the Ping Spoof detection.
Slightly optimised the Settings configuration with less memory usage.
Removed an awareness notification related to a removed asynchronous setting.
Corrected a few MorePackets & Clip vector riptide trident false positives.
Corrected dozens of riptide trident off-hand movement false positives.
Greatly optimised the Player utilities with less location calls & faster methods.
Spartan can no longer be a blocked command as it goes against Spartan Syn.
Slightly optimised the Chat Protection feature with less method calls.
Implemented partial detection support for Bedrock players.
Noticeably improved the Bedrock Player handlers with better identification.
Slightly improved the Player Info inventory menu with more detailed descriptions.
Corrected a few MorePackets low attempts false positives.
Corrected dozens of IrregularMovements step & Clip instant Skript plugin false positives.

Build 376 - Lag Issue Correction & Performance Improvements
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.

Implemented new events in the plugin’s listeners to allow proper weather change handling.
Password related content will no longer be normally shown in the Configurations inventory menus.
Corrected a few Fly calculated fast falling false positives.
Made many schedulers run asynchronously instead of synchronously to save potential performance.
Corrected a KillAura block raytrace mcMMO ability false positive.
Correct several trident item change movement false positives.
