Final Polish for 26.3

Minecraft 26.3 is nearly ready for prime time with this third release candidate focusing on cleaning up lingering technical issues. This update fixes broken sprint-attacking logic and cleans up VSync bugs to ensure a smoother experience.

Critical Fixes

  • Combat Flow: Sprint-attacking no longer incorrectly slows down the player during aggressive engagements.
  • VSync Toggle: The engine now correctly handles VSync activation and disabling without menu errors.
  • Server UI: Changes to server resource pack settings now save properly during server configuration.

Minor fixes resolve settings persistence and UI inconsistencies. This build feels stable enough for a final release.
