Release Candidate

[Axionize]

I think we're ready to call this a release.

Changelog (not comprehensive) since 1.3.2 for my latest dev build (KnockbackSync-1.3.5-dev-axionize-b29):

• Fabric support (ping measurements less accurate until packetevents fixes users, no jitter calculations)
• Folia Support
• Added a reload command
• Added a global and per-player toggle command
• Geyser (bedrock) players will now be exempt from KB sync's effects
• Added jitter calculations in /ping
• Fixed how ping packets and ids were sent to prevent conflicts with anticheats and other plugins - should see more consistent kb syncing on most servers.
• Support for gravity attribute
• Minor performance optimizations
• Lots of many minor bug fixes
• Lots of under the hood changes
• Multipaper support
• /tick rate support
• Unified command system between Fabric and Spigot.
• Backported to support Spigot 1.12.2-1.12.X
• Config Updater - Automatically backs up old config, copies new config, applies settings from old config to new config if they are still exist
• Added new KEEPALIVE vs PING/TRANSACTION ping/jitter measurement setting
• Made all messages configurable
• Added ability to set updateInterval() of entities (can be used to make player movement smoother by going from 2 -> 1)
• Offground synchronization support
• Ping resolution with keepalives now in ns range.

TODO List: - Created 10/16/2024, Last Updated 10/27/24

For 1.4

• Document all changes since 1.3.2 (this will take a while) and update readme
• Multipaper support
• /tick rate
• Improve ping accuracy Resolution appears to be in NS range, we can now accurately show Player's Ping: 54.437 ms, should we?
• New offground synchronization
• Automatic update option
• Fix Config removing comments when writing to config from the server IE with /kbsync toggle which sets !enabled
• Add new server-side entity ticking packet send rate modifications - could lead to much smoother player movemnt along with other entities
  • start with a simple implementation that just sends more packets.
• Backport support to older versions Now Supports 1.12.2 - 1.21.X - Requires Java 8
• Unified command system betwen Fabric and Spigot
• Config Update - new KEEPALIVE vs PING/TRANSACTION ping/jitter measurement setting
• Wait on PacketEvents to fix getting users from their player manager on Fabric (plugin still works but ping measurements are not very accurate and jitter cannot be measured)
• Add an auto-updater

Post-1.4

• Sync shields
• Sync potions
• Sync arrows
• Cull sending velocityUpdate packets with smarter algoirthm that only sends updates on changes and reduces the update rate for laggy players (configurable per player?). Built upon custom updateInterval() work
• Better KB with sim engine
• Port to Forge, Neoforge, and Sponge
• Fix Incompatability with Krypton on Fabric
• Fix KB in new builds (wtf is going on here?) - please investigate if hpaens on b44 with sky alpha - Fixed. Issue existed between B26 and B57
