public class World extends TickingThread implements Executor, ExecutorMetricsRegistry.ExecutorMetric, ChunkAccessor<WorldChunk>, IWorldChunks, IMessageReceiver

Central class representing a game world. Runs on its own TickingThread, owns a ChunkStore and EntityStore, manages player connections, chunk lighting, world map, event dispatching, and world lifecycle (start, tick, pause, save, shutdown). Worlds are named and persisted to a save directory with a WorldConfig. Client features (health bars, combat text, armor visibility) are configured at construction time from gameplay config.
