Fixes

 * Custom Skins
 * Fixed custom skins not saving when leaving the Dressing Room.


 * Gameplay
 * Fixed an issue where the Mending enchantment would not always correctly consume XP Orbs to repair


 * Mobs

 * Fixed the Create New World opt-in beta setting not persisting between play sessions

 * Cauldrons are now not fillable by dripstones that are below flowing water


 * Items
 * Custom armor can now be equipped with the "Use" button when different armor is already equipped.


 * Technical
 * Fixed an issue where projectiles would 'bounce' off of Bells in strange ways.
 * Fixed Logical AND to evaluate before Logical OR, and for comparison operators to evaluate before equality operators
 * This is a Molang Versioned Change that only takes effect for Molang expressions in packs that use a min_engine_version of 1.18.20 or higher.
 * For example A && B || Cnow evaluates as (A && B) || C and A < B == C > D now evalutes as (A < B) == (C > D).
 * Fixed duplicate End Crystals spawning on top of End Spikes.
 * Fixed an issue in which actor properties would not always sync from the server to the client.
