After letting the comments @Flamiii left brew for a while, I realized they were very much right about the buzz slider thing. As such, I've implemented a quick and dirty untested fix that will hopefully have zero unintended side-effects :)
I don't see this as a permanent or final solution yet. There's definitely some potential issues/inaccuracies that could arise with maps like Notch Hell or IOException's Black Rover, but afaik this implementation would not cause any issues that stable doesn't already have.
