This update introduces Entity Activation Range for water mobs.
Activation Range has been one of my biggest performance improvements
I ever added to Minecraft, however "Entity is in Water" is an immunity
case that keeps an entity active.
This update ignores the water check for known water based mobs, allowing
them to actually go inactive.
In addition to that, a new config option was added to spigot.yml to go with
the rest of the entity-activation-range options to let you configure
aquatic mobs like fish, squid and dolphins separately.
This should overall fix all lag caused by water mobs.
Upstream has released updates that appears to apply and compile correctly.
This update has not been tested by PaperMC and as with ANY update, please do your own testing
