- Add support for version overrides/exclusions in our dependency check.
Sometimes mod loaders use different versions to vanilla, and we need
some way to handle that.
- Rescan wired network connections on the tick after invalidation,
rather than when invalidated.
- Convert some constant lambdas to static method references. Lambdas
don't allocate if they don't capture variables, so this has the same
performance and is a little less ugly.
- Small code-style/formatting changes.
Historically we used Forge's SimpleChannel methods (and
PacketDistributor) to send the packets to the client. However, we don't
need to do that - it is sufficient to convert it to a vanilla packet,
and send the packet ourselves.
Given we need to do this on Fabric, it makes sense to do this on Forge
as well. This allows us to unify (and thus simplify) a lot of how packet
sending works.
At the same time, we also remove the handling of speaker audio during
decoding. We originally did this to avoid the additional copy of audio
data. However, this doesn't work on 1.20.4 (as packets aren't
encoded/decoded on singleplayer), so it makes sense to do this
Correctly(TM).
This also allows us to get rid of ClientNetworkContext.get(). We do
still need to service load this class (as Forge's networking isn't split
up in the same way Fabric's is), but we'll be able to drop that in
1.20.4.
Finally, we move the record playing code from ClientNetworkContext to
ClientPlatformHelper. This means the network context no longer needs to
be platform-specific!
