Description

From https://github.com/PrismarineJS/minecraft-data/pull/734#discussion_r1261347563,

Entity metadata enum may be wrongly numbered on 1.19.40+,

However, there are inconsistencies between numbering in PocketMine and Gophertunnel here, so this will need to be investigated later. (PocketMine doesn't list update_properties ; and BASE_RUNTIME_ID is in a different index). But we can address this later on since there is no clear path to resolution at the moment.

Research direction

Start by comparing the entity metadata definitions in PocketMine's EntityMetadataProperties.php and Gophertunnel's entity_metadata.go, focusing on 1.19.40 and later. Investigate the conflicting indexes for update_properties and BASE_RUNTIME_ID, then verify the repository's corresponding Bedrock protocol data. Done means the numbering is resolved and the metadata data is corrected with supporting validation.
