BetterStructures-FAWE

中文

A performance-focused fork of MagmaGuy/BetterStructures, deeply adapted for the Paper + FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE) + Terra ecosystem.

Original plugin: GitHub | Modrinth

Key Differences from Upstream

1. FAWE Async Pasting (Zero Main-Thread Blocking)

The original plugin uses WorkloadRunnable to place blocks on the main thread in frame-split batches, which still causes TPS drops for large structures. This fork migrates all block pasting to FAWE asynchronous EditSession:

• Normal blocks, NBT blocks (spawners, dispensers, etc.), and bedrock replacement are all handled on FAWE async threads
• The WorkloadRunnable frame-splitting system and NMS fast paths have been removed
• Entity spawning and chest filling are deferred back to the main thread after FAWE completes
• The percentageOfTickUsedForPasting config option is now obsolete

Dependency change: Hard dependency changed from WorldEdit to FastAsyncWorldEdit. The plugin will automatically disable itself if FAWE is not detected on startup.

2. Terra / FAWE Compatibility

Resolves chunk state issues when using async world generators like Terra with FAWE:

• Added ChunkValidationUtil: samples multiple positions to detect whether a chunk is fully generated, preventing structures from being placed on empty chunks
• Uses Paper API getChunkAtAsync for async chunk loading, with PluginChunkTicket to keep chunks loaded during pasting
• All world block access operations ensure chunks are loaded into memory first

3. PersistentDataContainer Chunk Marking

The original plugin relies on ChunkLoadEvent.isNewChunk() to identify new chunks, but after a server restart, previously generated but unmarked chunks get scanned again. This fork uses Bukkit PersistentDataContainer to persistently mark chunks:

• Processed chunks are tagged with betterstructures:chunk_processed
• No duplicate scanning of already-processed chunks after restart

4. Structure Location Persistence

Added StructureLocationManager and StructureLocationData to persist all generated structure locations to YAML files:

• Each world is stored independently under structure_locations/
• Records structure coordinates, type, schematic name, and bounding box dimensions
• In-memory cache with automatic dirty-data saving every minute
• Provides the data foundation for the mob tracking system

5. Mob Tracking & Respawn System

Added MobTrackingManager and MobSpawnConfig for tracking and respawning mobs within structures:

• Records mob spawn configurations (position, type) for each structure
• Supports Vanilla / EliteMobs / MythicMobs mob types
• Spatial index (world-chunk) for fast nearby structure lookups
• Triggers mob respawn checks when players approach
• Fires StructureClearedEvent when all mobs in a structure are killed

6. Chinese Localization

All user-facing logs, command feedback, and menu text have been translated to Chinese across 27 files.
