Optimize 1.7.10 TE whitelist

[charagarlnad]

The call to Block.getUnlocalizedName() was generating a new String for every TE every time the CullTask ran, generating significant amounts of garbage at high framerates, changed from a Set to Set for more efficient comparison.

PR Summary

• Ungraded Project Configuration

  • Revised project configuration files, with the specific aim of boosting compatibility, efficiency, and updating plugins version used. This has been done through modifications in gradle.properties and gradle-wrapper.properties to make sure the project uses the most recent Gradle version and map URLs correctly. The module identity has also been changed and various publishing configurations have been adjusted to suit our needs.

• Updated Plugin Version

  • Modified settings.gradle to update our plugin (gtnhsettingsconvention) to its latest version. Updating this plugin could give us access to additional features, better optimizations, and bug fixes.

• Improved Block Entity Management

  • Changes in Config.java and CullTask.java result in better handling of block entities. The block entity whitelist now recognizes more accurate identifiers, and the move from a Set<String> to a Set<Block> for unCullable enhances the system’s capability to handle 'uncullable' block entities.

• Enhanced Entity Culling Mechanism

  • Modifications in EntityCullingMod.java and EntityCullingModBase.java lead to better management of the culling process. These updates will help in executing a more efficient culling process upon the game's post-initialization stage, which could potentially improve response time and overall game performance.

Hm that pr also replaces the gradle script with a later iteration if I gathered it correctly. Will have to check that a bit since the 1.7.10 port wasn't made by me

generating significant amounts of garbage at high framerates

the culling is fully framerate-independent, so it has no impact that way. The one allocated string is not optimal, but shouldn't be a concern.
