Entities can't be controlled anymore after the chunk is unloaded and loaded again #1

Open leMaik opened 8 years ago

leMaik commented 8 years ago

When a chunk with a managed entity is unloaded, the entity can't be controlled anymore when the chunk is loaded again. Also, the reference for that entity is not removed, resulting in a memory leak.

Managed entities should not tick() anymore when they are unloaded and the reference should be dropped.

This could be solved by using entity.setRemoveWhenFarAway(true), but that will hit performance.

Note: That doesn't hit performance as chunks are still unloaded. :blush:

This is not fixed. Citizens2 tracks the entities that were despawned and need to be respawned, that may be a possible solution.
