Major things to note:
Class renames: https://gist.github.com/LexManos/44dd211f90f498ad4015279b103dff86
Tile Entities are now packed in the ChunkData packet.
Forge intends to work around this to better support large moded worlds, but for the time being modders should implement the new function carefully and only send what data they need to!
Minecraft's codebase now has annotations, these are directly from Mojang and should be adheared to!
Added support for package-info.java's containing @Nullable information for all MC code base.
Modders can now modify and reference internal elements of a loot table by name.
Editing can ONLY be done in the event and any external editing will cause a exception to be thrown.

Main things of interest:
* IAnimationStateMachine - state machine for animations; can load
from json.
* AnimationTESR - automatic TESR for animated models.
* AnimationModelBase - same for entities.
* ITimeValue - time-varying value, used to control animation
parameters from code.
* TESRs can now be batched - look at TESR.renderTileEntityFast +
TE.hasFastRenderer.
* RegionRenderCache is not accessible to TESRs and other client-side
logic - MinecraftForgeClient.getRegionRenderCache.
And helper functions in GameRegistry to allow for registering using those names automatically.
This is to simplify registration and get rid of the horrible hacks users are doing now with 'unlocalised names'.
This happens when no other mod that uses the bucket model is present.
Also added a simple method for registering the bucket model, should give
modders an idea on how to use the general model.
Changes to the Model API - IModelState now works with Optional. Handling of parts of the model is not optional, and coordinate space/result interpretation is up to the caller. IModel doesn't extend IModelPart by default anymore; MapModelState uses composition to achieve previous functionality, IModelPart implementations are disjoint now. Updated perspective handing to the new API, removed IPerspectiveState (MapModelState is now the same thing). Perspective transforms for the default fluid model.
