World generation
- Now the gradual transition from stone starts at height between Y=0 to Y=8, rather than Y=-8 to Y=0 previously.

JFR profiling
- If it is started from an external source, the JFR events for network packets are now aggregated instead of one event per packet.
Simulation distance
- Blocks and fluids are now also affected.
- Increased the lower limit for simulation distance from 2 chunks to 5 chunks.
General
- Optimized entity collisions.
