Subject: [PATCH] Rewrite entity bounding box lookup calls

For whatever reason, Mojang thought it was OK to make this system
scale logn relative to the number of entity sections loaded.
On top of that, they do a hashtable lookup per section - before
this was just a basic array access.

This patch brings back entity slices for lookup only.
