This pull request is intended to backport some of the improvement made to chunk compression in newer updates and also introduce some new ones.
Todo List:
lz4support (backport from 24w04a).xzsupport.XZYtoYZX(backport from Anvil).I've also generated (unscientific) benchmarks by regenerating a world with the same seed, immediately exiting the server, and marking down the file size generated by each compression type. I will write a proper, scientific benchmark later.
Unscientific Benchmarks:
EDIT: Dropped idea of adding ZSTD support. It doesn't have a Java native version compatible with Java 1.8, and bundling a native version to use with the JNI would just overcomplicate things.
EDIT 2: Ran some benchmarks and decided XZ would be an appropriate substitute for ZSTD.
