 * The hotbar is positioned lower in java than in bedrock
 * Frost walker path is a circle in java, but square in bedrock
 * Crossbow handling mechanics are different. In Java, the arrow will only load onto the crossbow when the mouse button is released; holding the right mouse button will then fire and charge the next arrow.
