[Feature Request] Faster Copper oxidizing by splash/lingering Thick Potion

[znopp]

The idea/problem for your feature request.

Currently it is time consuming and very boring to oxidize copper as it is simply a waiting game. However, by introducing the ability to throw splash/lingering Thick potions on or nearby the Copper blocks would allow them to quickly oxidize.

This would also give a use to the Thick potion.

Describe the solution you'd like.

It should make the nearby copper blocks advance to the next stage of oxidization when splashed with a Thick potion, or in a cloud of Lingering Thick Potion.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I have tried a datapack, and it works flawlessly on Vanilla, but thanks to Paper it is rather broken. Hopefully an update from the author is coming.

Agreements

• I have searched for and ensured there isn't already an open issue regarding this.
• I have ensured the feature I'm requesting isn't already in the latest supported PurpurExtras version.

Anything Else?

After further research I found that it will sadly be not possible to do this, since it would conflict with most anticheats.
My idea is as follows:

• getting all blocks in range of the potion using location from PotionSplashEvent and raycasting to each of them.
• each block that is successfully hit by the ray would have to have block break or block place event fired, which would probably trigger most anticheats
• get step further in the oxidization of the block. this would probably take a few maps or it could just swap the first part of the block id.

This solution would trigger false positives anticheats. If anyone comes up with something better that respects all the claim plugins, I'll happily merge it

I mean realistically claim plugins could just disable it - and it can just change block type and disregard events.
Most anti cheats won't flag just off of that small a change (if they're decent), so I'm not sure how much do a concern this would be.
Only way I see this is favor claims plugin vs favor anti cheat plugin
