A ton of refinements, visual improvements, and massive gameplay balance

This version had 89 individual updates, so I had to AI generate the changelog

This version adds Super Resolution configured to fix minecraft's pixel density over distance, this uses a lot of GPU resources so it's turned off by default. Access its config screen via F6 keybind and enable it if your GPU can handle it.
