When a chunk is being loaded the server checks to ensure the chunk's idea
of where it is located matches where it was located in the region file. If
these two values do not match the chunk's idea of its position is updated
and the chunk is reloaded. In vanilla minecraft this loading involves the
chunk's tile entities as well. With the change to loading player chunks
asynchronously we split loading tile entities to a separate step that takes
place after this check. Because of this tile entities are loaded with
invalid locations that result in trying to fetch block data from negative
or too large positions in the chunk's internal block storage arrays.
Because loading the tile entities is not thread safe we cannot return to
vanilla behavior here. Instead when we detect a misplaced chunk we just
edit the NBT data for the chunk to relocate the tile entities. This results
in them moving correctly with the chunk without having to actually load
them first.

When a player triggers a chunk load via walking around or teleporting there
is no need to stop everything and get this chunk on the main thread. The
client is used to having to wait some time for this chunk and the server
doesn't immediately do anything with it except send it to the player. At
the same time chunk loading is the last major source of file IO that still
runs on the main thread.
These two facts make it possible to offload chunks loaded for this reason
to another thread. However, not all parts of chunk loading can happen off
the main thread. For this we use the new AsynchronousExecutor system to
split chunk loading in to three pieces. The first is loading data from
disk, decompressing it, and parsing it in to an NBT structure. The second
piece is creating entities and tile entities in the chunk and adding them
to the world, this is still done on the main thread. The third piece is
informing everyone who requested a chunk load that the load is finished.
For this we register callbacks and then run them on the main thread once
the previous two stages are finished.
There are still cases where a chunk is needed immediately and these will
still trigger chunk loading entirely on the main thread. The most obvious
case is plugins using the API to request a chunk load. We also must load
the chunk immediately when something in the world tries to access it. In
these cases we ignore any possibly pending or in progress chunk loading
that is happening asynchronously as we will have the chunk loaded by the
time they are finished.
The hope is that overall this system will result in less CPU time and
pauses due to blocking file IO on the main thread thus giving more
consistent performance. Testing so far has shown that this also speeds up
chunk loading client side although some of this is likely to be because
we are sending less chunks at once for the client to process.
Thanks for @ammaraskar for help with the implementation of this feature.
