Added an option (villager-defend-attack-players) for villagers to defend players from attacks by other players (disabled by default).
If the villager does not have a weapon equipped or the attacking player is a member of the villager's family then the other player will not be defended.
Fixed an issue where new nametags were visible when villagers were invisible in < 1.20.4 servers.
Better handling of NPC metadata.
Fixed the rotation of the villagers' heads while sleeping.
Fixed the client being frozen when spawning NPCs.
Fixed (should be) crashes in some clients with mods when spawning NPCs.
