No use in waiting to release if you don't release at all.

Lots of changes, and this auto-generate release notes really is handy. I considered using a bot, or making my own changelog, but in the end, good commit messages will just go hand-in-hand with this. Given that most contributions are PRs, my own contributions will probably be PRs as well, and thus should have a cleaner commit history in the first place.

Should be compatible with Minecraft 1.17 and 1.18.
