GuardSpigot 1-12-2 | Heavily Optimized v1.18

• New API because previous burned in OVH Strasburg =)

• Fix new exploit shulker box that allows to crash 1.12+ servers

• **Very important** security update - One of my several security patches was accidentally commented out on what might have been abused - I'm restoring it
• Option to disable whole books payloads etc if you know that you do not want handle it (security section) - but if you want you can handle books, everything is well protected so don't worry
• GuardSpigot 1.12.2 has been connected with https://stats.guardspigot.com/ (GuardSpigot 1.8.8 is not connected yet)

• Piston protected blocks, blocks under this list will not be broken by pistons. for servers who want to restrict autofarming of some crops for eco reasons
• Replaced UUID to FastUUID - it's a little more than fourteen times faster at parsing UUIDs and six times faster at writing UUIDs than the stock JDK implementation.
• Java 11+ support

gameplay:
pistonProtectBlocks: false
pistonProtectedBlocks:
- SUGAR_CANE_BLOCK
- MELON_BLOCK
- PUMPKIN

The creator of tuinity noticed that with 200 players and 130 cows on chunk, he puts such a heavy load on the Netty I/O that you can't do anything. After this patch, the latency is 0ms, which has been optimized very well.

• Heavily reduce Netty I/O thread load by avoid expensive flush calls in tracking
• Optimized flush call
• Optimized Lava - should be of great help to those who may have had trouble spilling lava flows - now lava ticks only once per tick, not like before
• Changed world search human's algorithm's from O complexity to O(1) complexity - it means that now the algorithm will save a lot of CPU and download the object immediately, not interacting with each player and checking his UUID - With 500 players, there could be a situation that the algorithm was executed over 490 times !!! Now it is only done ONCE!

• New option NBTSkipProtector - while this option is enabled and we detect NBT exploit attack we won't kick attacker, we will just skip data that he sent to server.

This option came about for two reasons:
1. If you don't want the attacker to disconnect from the server
2. It is a bit of an option to irritate people trying to attack our server (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

• Packet Compressor and Decompressor run in native way from this update - That mean whole compression and decompression is executed in compiled C code which should be a lot of faster than java deflater!
• Huge update in lighting - Reduce chunk loads and gap check for neighbour chunks!
• Speed up mob limit per player

• PandaWire will cooperate with redstone tick limit and disable abused redstone instead of remove from world
• Fixed attack log GUI
• Alerts about attacks/exploits for OP player's

• Some more flexible options for NBT checker
• Flawless printer fix
