Re-enable armor stand gravity

Vouch

I can't see something like this being approved due to the fact that armor stands already are a massive source of problems without gravity. From watching those anti-p2w people lagging servers they often find themselves using armor strand gravity to cause severe lag.

Neutral. I'd like to see more vanilla mechanics becoming available in the server but I feel for this one it will be a struggle.

@Erin#19045 What is the specific source of lag in those cases? Is it just armor stands falling by themselves, or do they interact with things in a way we could block?

@StevenNL2000#19046 from what I've seen, people place armor stands on top of water which has soul sand below it.

@Folfy_Blue#19052 It can be enabled via /toggle

@StevenNL2000#19046 You can find a couple methods (main one is bouncing them in water) on youtube, I do believe the most effective method for fixing this currently is having gravity for them disabled, but I think that we should have an alternative method for it like limiting the amount of entities that can exist, not be placed exist, in a single chunk ("exist" because methods to bypass placement caps exist) and something like that would also fix the popular minecart lag method.

@"Fleek"#188 Do you happen to know if this is because of the work in the 2021.05 release to disable block gravity, or is this another plugin interaction?

Just to update - I've flagged this with the dev team and asked them to take a look into this and let us know exactly what they think is causing the behaviour
