Error stopped chunks from loading

[HamiIkar]

I already asked in the interactive visualizer discord and they said I should ask here

Hi

1. LightAPI version?
2. Can you reproduce this bug on demand when I ask you?
3. "Error stopped chunks from loading" - Does it mean that chunks are not more loaded after this bug? And how it looks like?

PS. @LOOHP, please stay close. Your help may be required. First question: Is it possible that InteractionVisualizer creates lights where chunk us not loaded yet?

[LOOHP]

Actually the plugin could add/remove light after chunks are unloaded possibly. Tho I've never encountered this error myself or from any bug reports ever before.

[Qveshn]

I have one idea where the bug is. But I need somebody to reproduce the bug before and after my changes in LightAPI

[HamiIkar]

I am using the current version v3.5.1 2. I cant reproduce it it only happened once. I was just running through a tunnel 3. yes no more chunks could be loaded I had to restart the server and the server was a bit stuck on saving chunks

[Qveshn]

WTF... net.minecraft.util.thread.ThreadedMailbox: Method g() in 1.17 now is h() in 1.17.1 😟 This method is critical to the continued functioning of the ThreadedMailbox.

[Qveshn]

The new release LightAPI-fork 3.5.2 will probably fix this bug.

[Qveshn]

@LOOHP, I am curious, please tell me in a nutshell (briefly) when (or where) InteractionVisualizer creates light sources, and in what cases with LightType.SKY, and in what cases - LightType.BLOCK? I saw you video here https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/interactionvisualizer-visualize-function-blocks-entities-like-crafting-tables-with-animations.77050/. but did not understand it :flushed: I can assume that LightType.SKY is used so that the objects placed in the blocks have natural light (not black). But then what is the LightType.BLOCK used for?

[LOOHP]

The plugin sets both Block and Sky light of a (for example) crafting table whenever somebody opens it (to light up the armorstands inside of it).

int skylight = loc1.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.UP).getLightFromSky();
int blocklight = loc1.getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.UP).getLightFromBlocks() - 1;
blocklight = blocklight < 0 ? 0 : blocklight;
if (skylight > 0) {
	LightManager.createLight(loc1, skylight, LightType.SKY);
}
if (blocklight > 0) {
	LightManager.createLight(loc1, blocklight, LightType.BLOCK);
}

The LightManager queues the create light from the above code. Then every 10 ticks, it empties the queue on the same tick and update all the lights at once. This is to make sure adjacent LightAPI created light sources does not update each other and start to flicker on the client.

[Qveshn]

@LOOHP thanks

@HamiIkar make pleases tests with new LightAPI 3.5.2 if any errors or chunks are stopped loading again or the server freezes while saving the world on exit, please let me know. Please monitor this for a few days, and if everything is ok, then this issue can be closed.

[HamiIkar]

No error, everything seems to be working nicely
