Fixes

Template:Fixes Other

• Fixed a client-side display issue that caused falling blocks (such as Minecraft:sand, Minecraft:gravel, and Minecraft:anvils) to appear to pass through Minecraft:cobwebs without slowing down and to lose their collision after landing.
• Fixed a bug in the Realms saves screen where the "Save to storage" button on an automatic save displayed the active world's size instead of the selected save's size, and the "Free up space" dialog was not shown when the selected automatic save was too large to fit in the Realm's storage.
• Fixed an issue where backups containing only Resource Packs displayed empty entries without names in the Saves tab.
• Fixed an issue where modals may display blank text on the Realms Hub subscription tab.
• Fixed an issue where the wrong icon was used for leaving a realm.
• Fixed Realms Hub settings screens not exiting properly after saving changes made on the screens.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when initializing a dimension on the client side if the spawn dimension was set to a non-Minecraft:Overworld dimension.
• Fixed a bug where the emote wheel could be opened while riding a Minecraft:mob or Minecraft:minecart, causing the player to crouch instead of dismounting.
• Fixed an issue that caused the framerate limit option under Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals Options to behave differently from the other quality options.
• Fixed a bug where you could not show Template:Cd or Template:Cd directly after Template:Cd or Template:Cd.
• Fixed an issue where on slower connections the hotbar would swap between items if you placed a block and immediately swapped.
• Fixed a bug where Template:Cd was not correctly applied to data driven blocks.
• Fixed marketplace offers sometimes showing coin icons in places they shouldn't.
• Fixed bug where Template:Cd was using the incorrect dedicated server configuration ID for a pack. Under Template:Cd is a pack's configuration for scripting. The Template:Cd module was looking at the pack ID rather than the script module ID like all other modules.
• Fixed an issue where square artifacts would appear when looking at point lights.
