WorldEditDisplay - визуализация выделения WorldEdit на сервере

Summary

WorldEditDisplay 2.5.0 modernizes the packet-based rendering backend by migrating selection shapes and shared-player labels from EntityLib to VirtualEntities 0.9.0, powered by TextDisplayShapes 3.0.0.

This release preserves the retained-line renderer introduced in 2.4.0 while improving lifecycle management, compatibility across legacy and current server versions, renderer safety, and automated compatibility testing.

Rendering Backend

• Migrated packet-only selection shapes from EntityLib to VirtualEntities
• Migrated shared-player TextDisplay labels to the same VirtualEntities backend
• Uses one shared VirtualEntityManager and canonical viewer connections for shapes and labels
• Preserves retained rendering for Cuboid, Cylinder, Ellipsoid, Polygon, and Polyhedron selections
• Removes the bundled EntityLib implementation from the final plugin artifacts

Compatibility Improvements

• Lowered the plugin bytecode requirement from Java 21 to Java 17
• Changed the Bukkit API declaration to api-version: 1.19
• Restored Paper, Folia, and Spigot compatibility beginning at Minecraft 1.19.4
• Updated the Paper build API to 1.21.11
• Updated PacketEvents to 2.13.0

The Minecraft server version may still require a newer Java version even though WorldEditDisplay itself targets Java 17.

Reliability Fixes

• Skips degenerate, non-finite, and excessively short line segments that cannot be rendered safely
• Prevents renderer rebasing from resolving or comparing unloaded worlds
• Ensures renderers and virtual entities are closed cleanly during plugin shutdown
• Deactivates and unregisters PacketEvents listeners before renderer cleanup
• Keeps shared selection shapes and player labels on the same client connection

Testing & Build Updates

• Added a Paper and Mineflayer end-to-end test workflow
• Tests real WorldEdit CUI packet handling, retained-line reuse, visible TextDisplay entities, selection sharing, and shared labels
• Compatibility testing covered 21 Paper versions and 24 Spigot versions from 1.19.4 through 26.2
• Folia end-to-end compatibility was verified on 1.19.4, 1.21.11, and 26.2
• Added regression coverage for Java 17, the legacy Paper plugin descriptor, invalid line geometry, and unloaded-world rebasing
• All 35 unit tests pass on both Paper and Spigot build profiles
