[MC-1311] When you enter the Nether, the game auto-selects the first item on the toolbar

As the title explains.

1. On the overworld, select the fifth (or any other, except first) item on your toolbar;
2. Enter a nether portal;
3. When you get to the nether, the selected item changes to the first item of your toolbar.

I can confirm this issue with 1.4.2. It has been around for quite a few versions.

This is not specifically going to the nether, its loading the world. The client forgets what slot its in when it leaves the world, and the server sends the client the player profile, but does not store the current slot in the inventory you are using.

Yeah this is why I always put sword on slot #1. Usually, you do not suddenly need to eat or build after entering world, but defense you do need.
