Microsoft also published DataFixerUpper and added some packets specifically for servers such as the "Ping" packet and the "Bundle" packet and the 1.19.4 display entities.

Ping being to synchronously measure latency of the client - unused by vanilla

Bundle being to force packets to be processed together - very useful for sending clients display animations all at once

And then all the display entities to display text and itemstacks in the air, with custom interpolation and stretching - so advanced animations can easily be made.

The most hostile thing is Microsoft pushing the locked down Bedrock edition.
