Mostly more specific handling of signs, as well as some quality of life changes. Should still be compatible down to 1.17 despite API change for sign handling, but not tested.

A lot of changes here are mostly end-user invisible, but a lot of cleanup has occurred under the hood. Things to test are entity damage/protections (entity damage handling has been refactored significantly) and water flow. Use the discussion thread to provide feedback on this and anything else in this release. Thank you!
