Modern Beta Annoyances Fix

Purpose

When playing on Modern Beta (a server that emulates Beta 1.7.3) or other similar servers with a modern-version client, there are some leftover annoyances that can't be fixed properly without a client mod. Admittedly when playing on the server most of these annoyances are very minor (temporary visual desyncs / ghost placements,) but some issues can affect other mods (e.g; ClientSort.) In either case, they were annoying enough that I wanted to fix them.

As an additional bonus, these fixes also apply to singleplayer: meaning it's far more reliable / practical to use a singleplayer creative world and port builds over. No more fighting against slabs/stairs/trapdoors to follow beta rules!
