vr9p improvements

• xyz now requests nearby blocks instead of a fixed purple item tag (biome-aware, always achievable)

• max requested items bumped to 32 config default

misc changes

• time acceleration is now per-player (doesnt mess up everyone else's day/night)

• time acceleration is 100x instead of 20x (way scarier)
• replaced k3w's two split uuid data params with single optional_uuid
