RailOptimization

RailOptimization v1.6

RailOptimization v1.6 further reduces the cost of powered rail and activator rail updates, especially in frequently changing rail networks.

What's New

• Added /railoptimization powerLimit <value> to change the powered/activator rail signal range from 1 to 64. The default remains 8 and changing it requires administrator permission.
• /railoptimization now displays both the optimization state and the current power limit.

Improvements

• Reworked rail traversal and search caching to avoid repeated path scans during the same update.
• Replaced the per-update hash map with a compact cache designed for Minecraft's short rail signal paths.
• Reused update contexts and mutable positions to reduce temporary allocations and garbage collection pressure.
• Cached direct redstone power checks and improved the fast path for straight rail lines.

Fixes

• Rail-shape lookup tables no longer rely on hard-coded enum ordinal ordering.
• Rail-search cache entries are isolated between update phases to prevent unrelated search results from being reused.
