Trying to isolate server performance issues, it was pointed out that clients are spending a LOT of time receiving and rebuilding mapblock meshes, and that updating node meta triggers this, even when that meta is not relevant to the rendering of nodes. Rubenwardy added a suggestion to change this in the engine: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10127 This patch implements this suggestion at the game level, since in NodeCore's case we already were making the assumption that nearly all metadata fields were private.

NodeCore - An original, immersive puzzle/adventure game for Minetest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NodeCore is a major reconstruction of survival gameplay from the ground
up. Relearn much of what you thought you knew about Minetest!
Features:
- Immersive gameplay. Zero in-game pop-up GUIs. Minimal HUDs.
All interactions take place in continuous first-person perspective.
Nothing gets between you and the game world.
- Nearly everything is on the grid. Item stacks settle onto the grid
and persist. Complex machines (e.g. furnaces, storage) are built
in-world and can be designed, customized, optimized.
- In-world crafting. Assemble more complex recipes directly on the grid
or in-place. Learn how to "pummel" nodes to hammer things together
or break things apart.
- Built-in player guide and hint system provides low-spoiler guidance.
- Rich and subtle interactions. Some materials dig and transform in
stages. Some materials slump into repose when stacked high. Some
things transform if conditions are met, but transform faster based
on environment. Experiment and see what effects what!
- Build complex in-game systems. Design your own furnace. Construct
digital logic circuits. Build gears and rotary machinery. Assemble
portable storage containers.
- Eggcorns!
