Better Than Wolves

November 13, 2012

• Added the Chopping Block as a new block type. This block has grooves cut in it which means that it can be placed in front of a Saw while neither destroying the block, nor the Saw itself. It is created with 6 smooth stone in a "U" pattern on the Anvil. Note that trapping a player or mob between a Saw and Chopping block will result in a big bonus to damage caused by the Saw, and the same bonus to skull-drops as if they were killed by a Battle Axe.
• Added custom death messages for the Saw, Dead Weight, Groth, and for when the player is killed between a Saw and Chopping Block.
• Added high efficiency recipe for the Saw involving wood Siding instead of planks.
• Added Arcane Scroll drop to blazes as they can now reliably be farmed.
• Added the ability to plant carrots and potatoes with the Block Dispenser.
• Changed (reduced) the cost for using the Infernal Enchanter from base 50, to base 30 in order to better match the values used with the vanilla enchanter.
• Changed skeleton Arcane Scroll drop so that they don't drop from wither skeletons.
• Changed the "limit pigman and magma cube" option to the more general "limit nether mob spawns", and applied it to blazes and wither skeletons as well. These mobs can now only spawn on netherrack, and netherbrick.
• Changed the Mining Charge recipe to use slime balls instead of Glue, as it fits the idea of Glue being a permanent adhesive vs slime being a "tacky" substance better.
• Changed the limited slime spawning code so that they can now also spawn on grass, gravel, and sand (as well as the previous dirt and smooth stone), to better fit them being able to spawn above-ground now.
• Changed skeletons and wither skeletons to be able to spawn in the nether regardless of light level, to match the other nether mobs. Without this they couldn't spawn near fire and lava, which obviously doesn't make much sense in the nether.
• Fixed a very small problem in the Water Wheel rendering code that caused a tiny gap to appear between the struts and blades.
• Fixed problem with the Block Dispenser being able to harvest wheat, potato, and carrot crops before they were fully grown.
