PaperMC believes that 1.16.2 is now ready for general release as we fixed the main issue plagueing the 1.16.x release, the MapLike data conversion issues.
Until now, it was not safe for a server to convert a world to 1.16.2 without data conversion issues around villages and potentially other things. If you did, those MapLike errors meant something went wrong.
This is now resolved.
Big thanks to all those that helped, notably @BillyGalbreath and @Proximyst who did large parts of the update process with me.
Please as always, backup your worlds and test before updating to 1.16.2!
If you update to 1.16.2, there is no going back to an older build than this.

* She compiles!
Also readded the armorstand ticking patch, thanks cat
* Update mob goal api
* Misc fixes to make it run
drop per playing mob spawns for now
There is some vanilla level bug where this tracking state appears
to get messed up and player doesn't exists in chunk its trying to untrack.
We returned early to prevent crashing, but I suspect if there was a level being
tracked for the chunk, it got leaked due to the early return.
So going to ensure we clean up the level tracker when this state occurs.
This may help with any leaked chunk issues.
Fixed a few bugs, and made numerous improvements.
Fixed issue where a sync chunk load could have its ticket removed and the
priority ticket could expire...
Still not perfect there but better than before.
Also fixed few other misc issues such as watchdog cpu usage, chunk queue update
had risk of double enqueue due to it no longer being a set.
Added much more information about chunk state to watchdog prints.
I see some more room for improvement even, but this is much better than before.
Fixes#3407Fixes#3411Fixes#3395Fixes#3389
Mark chunks that are blocking main thread for world generation as urgent
Implements a general priority system so that chunks that are sorted in
the generator queues can prioritize certain chunks over another.
Urgent chunks will jump to the front of the line, ensuring that a
sync chunk load on an ungenerated chunk does not lag the server for
a long period of time if the servers generator queues are filled with
lots of chunks already.
This massively reduces the lag spikes from sync chunk gens.
Then we further prioritize loading order so nearby chunks have higher
priority than distant chunks, reducing the pressure a high no tick
view distance holds on you.
Chunks in front of the player have higher priority, to help with
fast traveling players keep up with their movement.
This commit also improves single core cpu scenarios in that we will
now automatically disable Async Chunks as well as Minecrafts thread
pool.
It is never recommended to use async chunks on a single CPU as context
switching will be slower than just running it all on main.
This also bumps the number of server worker threads by default too.
Mojang does not utilize the workers in an effecient manner, resulting
in them using barely any sustained CPU.
So give it more workers so more chunks can be processed concurrently
This change also improves urgent chunk loading, so players flying into
unloaded chunks will hurt a little bit less (but still hurt)
Ping #3395#3363 (Not marking as closed, we need to make prevent moving work)
Removes synchronization from sending packets
Makes normal packet sends no longer need to be wrapped and queued like it use to work.
Adds more packet queue immunities on top of keep alive to let the following scenarios go out
without delay:
- Keep Alive
- Chat
- Kick
- All of the packets during the Player Joined World event
Hoping that latter one helps join timeout issues more too for slow connections.
Removes processing packet queue off of main thread
- for the few cases where it is allowed, order is not necessary nor
should it even be happening concurrently in first place (handshaking/login/status)
Ensures packets sent asynchronously are dispatched on main thread
This helps ensure safety for ProtocolLib as packet listeners
are commonly accessing world state. This will allow you to schedule
a packet to be sent async, but itll be dispatched sync for packet
listeners to process.
This should solve some deadlock risks
This may provide a decent performance improvement because thread synchronization incurs a cache reset
so by avoiding ever entering a synchronized block, we get to avoid that, and packet sending is a really
hot activity.
