Created Issue:
"Saving Level..." text not appearing in pause menu
In versions 1.2.5 and before, pausing the game would display a "saving level..." message in the pause menu when it was saving chunks. while it still saves chunks when you pause it, the message does not show up in the pause menu anymore.

Duplicate of MC-73300, but leaving it open for Mojang to decide.
The bug
The "Saving world" text (introduced as a fix to MC-73300) is rendered behind the dark background of the pause menu, instead of on top as it used to be.
How to fix
Make it render in front of this background.
The bug
The visual indicator used to state the world is currently being saved is different across editions: Java Edition uses the text "Saving world", whereas Bedrock Edition uses an animation with a chest.
As the indicator was reintroduced to Java Edition in 1.18 after being absent since 1.2.5 (MC-73300), this should count as a valid parity issue.
How to fix
Add Bedrock Edition's saving world sprite to Java Edition.
Further notes
It may be a good idea to have this as a toggle, as to permit switching between the two different types of saving indicator, much like how the attack indicator can be toggled between the crosshair and hotbar versions.

I have noticed this, but thought it was a feature. We must get confirmation on whether or not this is intended.
Upon inspection of the code, it seems there is no attempt to render the text there. My guess is that the feature was removed, but maybe it was accidentally deleted when they re-did a lot of GUI code.
