Refactor Window block interactions and register new block

Simplified the onBlockActivated logic for clarity and better separation of client and server behavior. Added null checks, improved crouching interaction handling, and adjusted dimension change logic. Registered the "window" block and updated the language file to include its name. Added comments so i can know what is going on later.
