This makes a couple of significant changes to the original system, to reduce the number of threads created and allow for multiple threads in the future. There are several notable changes from the original implementation: - A blocking queue is used for the main task queue queue. This removes the need for the "monitor" variable and allows for multiple threads polling this queue in the future. - The thread used to execute tasks is "cached" between tasks, significantly reducing the number of threads which need to be created. If a task needs to be stopped then the thread is then terminated and a new one constructed, though this rarely happens.

About this Repository
ComputerCraft was originally released in late 2011 by Daniel Ratcliffe. In early 2017, after working on the mod solo for five years, it was decided to release the source code publicly to allow Dan to devote time to other projects. This repository marks the first public release of this source code.
The code in this repository will always represent the "bleeding edge" of the ComputerCraft codebase, but stable builds back to 1.79 will be marked on the Releases page.
Contributing
While ComputerCraft will no longer be actively developed by Daniel Ratcliffe, you may still contribute pull requests which will be reviewed and incorporated into releases periodically. A pull request is more likely to be accepted if it meets the following criteria:
- It does not add any new dependencies for compiling, running or using the mod.
- It does not break compatibility with world saves or programs created with previous versions of the mod.
- It does not add unneccessary complexity for users of the mod, and maintains the accessibility for which the mod is known.
- It does not add unneccessary complexity or stylistic changes to the code, especially where functionality is not being changed.
- It does not create bugs!
The pull requests most likely to be accepted are those which fix bugs, simplify code, or make the mod compatible with newer versions of Minecraft.
