Description:
As mentioned in #14260, MC-4 is a bug that has existed in the vanilla game for many years. Paper previously added the
misc.send-full-pos-for-item-entitiesconfiguration, which marks all dropped items to require the sending of precise coordinates as a temporary workaround.However, in Minecraft 26.2+ (and 26.3), Mojang officially added a check for precision loss during collision detection specifically for
ItemEntityinServerEntity#isFullPrecisionEncodingRequired. When precision loss is detected, a full-precision synchronization packet is automatically sent. The original version has fundamentally fixed MC-4.Paper’s patch and corresponding configuration are now completely obsolete and redundant and can be safely removed.
This PR makes the following changes:
requiresPrecisePosition(true)inItemEntity.java.misc.sendFullPosForItemEntitiesconfiguration option fromGlobalConfiguration.misc.send-full-pos-for-item-entitiesinRemovedConfigurations.javato ensure that servers upgraded from older versions will automatically clean up this entry when readingpaper-global.yml, preventing unknown configuration warnings.The build passed when running
./gradlew compileJavalocally.Closes #14260
