5.9.1 Release

By only hashing the original item in the first clientbound item rewriter, repeated expensive item hashing (mostly thanks to big text components) in every protocol can be avoided. It is eventually cached in the last clientbound/first serverbound protocol, to be restored immediately and then passed along to the end unchanged.

+    - Why is it a real problem (not a guess)?
+
+2. **Justification**
