AnarchyExploitFixes

• Added support for handling packets across all minecraft versions by switching to PacketEvents! You will need the latest packetevents jar installed to run the new release. Additionally, update all installed Via plugins.
• Added support for 1.20.5 - 1.21
• Added kick and logging options to all packet modules.
• Added patches for purpur beehive_c2s crash, invalid sequence crash and sign lag.
• Added protection against more tab-completion lag/crash methods.
• Fixed and improved CommandWhitelist TabComplete filter for all versions from 1.12.2 - latest
• Fixed and improved Beehive coordinate patch.
• Rewrote all illegal item modules. WARNING: THE ENTIRE ILLEGALS CONFIG SECTION WILL BE RESET! AEF will now only try to prevent illegals from being used by default. Deleting/Reverting them will have to be re-enabled if desired. Additionally, each illegal item check now offers their own bypass permission.
• Improved detection of elytra-speed. This should fix a few bypasses.
• Improved accuracy of old/new chunk detection for legacy users.
• Improved the plugin's ability to read stored Items from an ItemStack (ex. Bundle, Shulker)
• Improved Command Sign patch. 1.16 and later will no longer have issues with dying signs while the patch is enabled!
• The state of /toggleconnectionmsgs now properly persists throughout restarts! Players will no longer have to use the command once again after a server restart.
• Improved calculation of item bytesize. The values will most likely still need to be tweaked but now you can see how aef sees the item's size by using: /aef bytesize <item/inventory>!
• Improved performance of certain repeating operations by implementing packetevenpppcaches. This should fix lag for a variety of modules.
• Fixed and improved the ant-book-ban module. It is advised to let the plugin regenerate the config file to get the new defaults. You can also just delete the book-ban section and reload.
• Improved the /aef lag command on folia
• Added ukraninian translation by (@F3F5)
• Added modules to help combat lag caused by large dupe stashes being loaded or destroyed. Both are considered experimental so any feedback is appreciated.
• Added a module that implements a cooldown to inventory holder interactions (lag-preventions.prevent-inventory-open-spam) Please note that all it does is act as an interaction-antispam. Values will have to be adjusted differently for each server.
• Added a patch against a pearl phase exploit involving cobwebs and similar blocks.
• Added ability to set max alive ticks for custom entitytypes.
• Made Map Cursor lag patch available for 1.16+ servers.
• Various improvements to logging with better readability in mind.
• Improved and reworked all comments within the plugin's config.yml
• Large amounts of internal code refactoring and shuffling for better performance and readability.
• Reduced jar filesize from ~20MB to just over 5MB.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ:

This release comes with drastic changes to the config.yml. Make sure to back up your config before updating!
