Changes and balancing 11

• The Mistlands giant helmet and sword now drop both iron and copper scrap as intended.
• The chance of starred ticks has gone up from 10% to 20%, as intended.
• The durability bar on items in the inventory and action bar only shows when the item is damaged.
• The "bad connection icon" is now delayed while the game is saving.
• Button prompts have a new look with some missing buttons added, and key hints appear in a horizontal line in every context where they are needed.
• The build menu is wider so it no longer overlaps other interface items.

• Trying to join a server that has a version mismatch or other restriction now tells you right away from the server list, without waiting for the game to load.
• Kicked players now see a proper message.
