The Bug:
Elements within the game menu are now positioned slightly lower than they were in previous versions.
This could be an intentional change but it wasn't mentioned in the changelog so I'm just making a report just in case. For a visual understanding of the potential issue here, see the two screenshots I've attached below that show the difference in behavior between versions.

Please don't delete my comments. This change should be reverted, something simillar happened in 1.17 when they switched around the creative mode/hardcore buttons on the world creation screen, it was annoying and no one liked it so they reverted it. There's no reason to conflict with 9 years of muscle memory.
When I first opened the new Minecraft version, the pause menu immediately felt off. I think the problem is that it's too centered. In contrast, other menus are a bit higher on the screen. Unlike the inventory menus, the header text doesn't have a background, so visually it has less weight to it, making the pause menu feel even more down then it really is.
I don't have a problem with this new, more-centered menu, but it should be centered visually, not only "in code". Having it centered on the buttons (ignoring the header text for layout) would be a welcome improvement.

Can confirm.
