⚡ New in Version 1.0.2 (Performance Overhaul)

This update introduces a massive refactor of the drone's movement and scanning logic. By moving away from expensive per-tick operations and constant teleportation, DeliveryDrones 1.0.2 offers a significantly lighter footprint for high-population servers.

🚄 Optimized Flight Engine

• Velocity-Based Movement: Drones now utilize setVelocity() for cruise flight. This allows the server to handle the physics naturally, ensuring Armor Stand entities only "tick" while in motion.
• Smart Snap Logic: Teleportation is now strictly reserved for dimension shifts, final landing snaps, or emergency relocation, eliminating "jitter" and reducing packet overhead.

🎯 Intelligent Landing & Scanning

• Landing Spot Cache: The computeLandingFrom() function now runs once per target change. Drones no longer re-calculate their landing spot every single tick during the descent.
• High-Speed Ground Scanning:
• Highest-Block Shortcut: Uses internal world heightmaps to find the ground instantly.
• Coarse-to-Fine Search: Scans the landing area in broad steps before narrowing down, saving hundreds of iterations.
• Safety Failsafes: Automatically skips scanning in unloaded chunks to prevent accidental "chunk-loading lag."

📊 Performance Impact

Logic	Old Method (1.0.1)	New Method (1.0.2)	Benefit
Movement	Per-tick Teleport	Physics-based Velocity	Lower CPU & smoother visuals
Pathfinding	Every Tick	Cached on target change	Massive reduction in main-thread load
Scanning	Dense Radius Scan	Coarse-to-Fine + Heightmap	Near-instant landing calculations
