For years, plugin developers have had to delay many things they do
inside of the PlayerJoinEvent by 1 tick to make it actually work.
This all boiled down to 1 reason why: The event fired before the
player was fully ready and joined to the world!
Additionally, if that player logged out on a vehicle, the event
fired before the vehicle was even loaded, so that plugins had no
access to the vehicle during this event either.
This change finally fixes this issue, fully preparing the player
into the world as a fully ready entity, vehicle included.
There should be no plugins that break because of this change, but might
improve consistency with other plugins instead.
For example, if 2 plugins listens to this event, and the first one
teleported the player in the event, then the 2nd plugin actually
would be getting a valid player!
This was very non deterministic. This change will ensure every plugin
receives a deterministic result, and should no longer require 1 tick
delays anymore.

public net.minecraft.server.level.ChunkMap addEntity(Lnet/minecraft/world/entity/Entity;)V
This event can be used for when you want to exclude a certain player
from triggering monster spawns on a server.
Also a highly more effecient way to blanket block spawns in a world

This will let you configure how far to track entities in range from players, so that the entity does not render on the client if out of this range.
This has multiple benefits:
1) Less bandwidth. Not sending update packets for entities that are not even close to a player, or even close enough to clearly see.
2) Less lag by maps in item frames - Default range is 160 blocks... Many players can track that item frame and cause lag and not even see it.
3) Less lag in general - Less work for the server to do
4) Less client lag - Not trying to render distant item frames and paintings and entities will reduce entity count on the client, which is major for shop/town worlds which may use tons of item frames.

Changes the mob spawning algorithm to properly account for view distance and the range around players.
Needs better documentation.
