In general, the client now has an acknowledgment system that will cause block changes made by the client to be reverted correctly.
Essentially:
The client enters a "prediction" stage, where any block changes made will have its old blockstate captured (this is referred to as "server state").
If you update blocks during this stage, the client will update this captured server state as long as they're still currently predicting.
After prediction is done (via an ack packet) all captured blockstates are reverted to their captured server state.
This means that if the server actually updated a block and send a block update packet, it's correctly set, while if a block wasn't updated on the server but WAS updated on the client (server state wasn't updated), that change will be reverted.
It should be noted that this system does not yet support block entities, so those still need to be resynced when needed.
I discovered this when noticing that blocks broken outside of the player's valid interaction distance are still properly reverted, even though the server doesn't send any block updates, only an ack packet.
Upstream has released updates that appear to apply and compile correctly.

7de1049b Rebuild patches
For each player on each tick, enter block triggers are invoked, and these create loot contexts that are promptly thrown away since the trigger doesn't pass the predicate
To avoid this, we now lazily create the LootContext if the criterion passes the predicate AND if any of the listener triggers require a loot context instance
* Add attribute modifier from UUID API
* Add method to remove by UUID
* Add overload for UnmodifiableAttributeInstance, better precondition messages
* rebase
The existing EntityPickupItemEvent fixes patch moves the call to LivingEntity#onItemPickup for piglins after the respective EntityPickupItemEvent calls, which is correct.
However the patch moved the call so far down the line that the existing logic already mutated the picked up item entity, leading to faulty state being passed to the onItemPickup method.
To prevent logic in LivingEntity#onItemPickup to read from an ItemEntity that was already mutated, this commit moves the calls prior to the two respective mutations (either gold_nugget or rest).
This was chosen above taking a copy of the original item and restoring state later on to avoid a full item stack clone.
Upstream did not account for different hands when storing
the breed item for later use in the event. Also they only
stored a reference to the stack, not a copy so if the stack
changed after love mode was started, the breed item in the event
also changed. Also in several places, the breed item was stored after
it was decreased by one to consume the item.

Cost is a property of individual enchantments, and is used by vanilla in combination with environmental aspects like tool enchantability and bookshelf count to determine the final cost of an enchantment as shown in an enchanting table.
Having access to the base cost of an enchantment using these vanilla methods can allow plugin developers to determine the "value" of an enchantment, and use it in custom logic where needed. I came across this recently when trying to assign an economic value to enchantments during tool repairing, and noticed these values don't seem to be obtainable under the current API.
