Better Than Wolves

March 04, 2012

• Added Nether Sludge and Nether Bricks as new items.
• Added the ability to use the Lens as a light-level detector when used in combination with a Detector Block. Just point a Lens directly at a Detector Block (in a neighboring block), and off you go!
• Added a placeable version of the Slats (see name change of Rollers below) that functions in the same way as iron bars or glass panes.
• Added ability to create Potash out of Blood Wood (1 to 1), and Saw/Soul Dust (16 to 1 ).
• Added the ability to shift-click items into the Anvil crafting-grid. Also added this same functionality to the vanilla workbench, and furnace. This should make mass crafting, particularly of storage-type blocks, much more convenient.
• Added the ability to render Ink Sacks into glue at an 8 to 1 conversion ratio.
• Added the ability to rotate the following blocks on the Turntable (if they have the correct orientations to make this possible): Anchor, Siding, Moulding, Corner.
• Added the ability for the Block Dispenser to spit out items into blocks that are normally "replaceable" (eg. water, lava, snow, etc.). It should now eject items under the same circumstances under which it can place blocks.
• Added a separate texture for the top block of Hemp plants. This is to allow texture-pack creators to create an independent image for the top, but I also made a slight change to the default texture to take advantage of this. Note that this will only work if the tops of the plants are freshly grown; old tops will remain unaffected by this change.
• Added sheep running away when the player attempts to apply Dung to them. They don't like that.
• Changed the name of the "Rollers" to "Slats", and changed the textures representing them to reflect this.
• Changed how the Block Dispenser places redstone repeaters so that they are always facing away from the Block Dispenser. This is useful in employing the BD as a base-3 memory unit.
• Changed (reduced) the volume of the sound that clay and Unfired Pottery make when being rotated on the Turntable. This is to make the sound less overwhelming in large-scale automated setups.
• Changed the Mill Stone Gui to display its contents horizontally instead of vertically. The vertical display was due to an old feature idea that got scrapped long ago, with the horizontal making far more sense for the way it operates.
• Fixed problem with the Block Dispenser not being able to place Blood Wood Saplings on Planters that contain soul sand.
• Fixed problem with water-flow not being able to transport items over Planters (those that don't contain soul sand...such planters will still stop item flow, just like with regular soul sand).
• Fixed problem with Water Wheels and Wind Mills catching fire due to being hit with flaming arrows, and displaying a huge flame sprite as a result.
• Removed the ability to use Foul Food as fertilizer. Too much potential for abuse.
• Removed the ability to push Axles with pistons to prevent exploits involving the creation of infinite mechanical energy loops.
