This release adds new optimizations and features and fixes several bugs.

Changelog:

• Fixes item entities moving slower than expected in water
• Fixes some networking issues with fabric-networking-api-v1
• Fixes performance regression when constantly adding short-lived entities
• Uses Log4j2 AsyncAppender to improve logging performance and keep logging IO off the main thread (configurable)
• Uses async chunks for initial chunk loading on player logins (configurable)
• More aggressive networking optimizations on packet priority
• Makes several commands run async only when issued by a player
• Adds async portals (only for players) (configurable)
• Optimizes nearby chunk lookup a bit more
• Optimizes parts of entity tracking logic by rewriting some logic (configurable)
• Uses split event loops on networking to mitigate some common bot attacks (configurable)
• Optimizes networking handling on server thread to mitigate some common bot attacks
• Optimizes getBiome lookups by precaching (configurable), leading to faster spawning logic

Full Changelog: 0.2.0+beta.6...0.2.0+beta.7

0.2.0+beta.6

VMP 0.2.0+beta.6 for Minecraft 1.19 is released

This release adds new optimizations and fixes some bugs.

Changelog:

• Disables chunk sending rate-limit by default
• Makes vanilla tcp connections more responsive using packet priority from raknetify
  This should improve multiplayer experience significantly with unreliable and rate-limited connections
  (works best when the server is connected without reverse proxies such as velocity and ssh port forwarding)
• Fixes incompatibility with Enhanced Celestials
• Some other micro-optimizations

Full changelog: 0.2.0+beta.5...0.2.0+beta.6

Notes: VMP for 1.18.2 is still maintained. Please refer to our modrinth or curseforge page for updates.
