Better Than Wolves

August 20, 2011

• Added Ground Netherrack, Hellfire Dust, and Concentrated Hellfire as items.
• Added soul sand as a filter to the Hopper.
• Added Wind Mill Sail recipe using wood blocks instead of Moulding.
• Added a shapeless recipe for twisting two Hemp Fibers into a string.
• Added ability to grind bone into bone meal in the Mill Stone.
• Changed Nethercoal recipe to require Concentrated Hellfire instead of Netherrack.
• Changed Hibachi recipe to use Concentrated Hellfire instead of Netherrack, and remove the flint (replaced by smooth Stone).
• Changed Belt recipe to use 4 Straps instead of 8 (placed in a diamond pattern).
• Changed Hopper recipe to use two wood Panels and a Corner (for the bottom) instead of wood blocks.
• Changed The Saw to no longer be powered using a Hand Crank. It must receive continuous power from an axle to function properly.
• Changed the Turntable to no longer be powered using a Hand Crank. It must receive continuous power from an axle to function properly.
• Changed Bellows to only produce stoked fire over a lit Hibachi. All other fires will be blown at by the Bellows now.
• Removed recipes for Wood Blade (used in Water Wheel construction) using wood blocks. They can only be made with wood Panels now.
• Removed grinding wool into string in the Mill Stone (sorry guys, it screwed up the early game when working towards your first bow, and didn't make much sense anyways).
• Removed recipe for bone meal plus a white Vase producing a white Vase (since it was totally useless).
• Changed the mod to use the Forge system for handling textures. On the bright side, this means that this mod now has infinite texture indices for maximum compatibility with other mods. On the down-side, this means that existing texture packs for the mod will no longer work until they are adapted to the new system. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience this represents, but the decision to make this change is in the long-term best-interest of the mod.
• Along with the above, did a lot of texture work on the mod. You should notice quite a few subtle visual improvements.
• KNOWN BUG: Currently textures will not be displayed properly on mod-blocks when they are pushed by pistons. This will be corrected with the release of the next version of the Forge.
• Removed "fcUseDefaultLightTextures" from the mod's config file as it was no longer really relevant anymore with the custom texture packs that exist for the mod, and complicated the switch to the Forge texture system unnecessarily.
• Fixed problem with cement "battling" with water it comes into contact with. Cement now beats the crap out of water (and lava) without even breaking a sweat, and leaves it crying for its mommy (could be useful for underwater construction or filling in lava pits).
• Fixed problem where Hibachi wouldn't immediately extinguish Stoked Fire above it when turned off.
• Fixed problem where pottery couldn't be formed if not placed immediately above a Turntable.
• Fixed problem where Vases would lose their color when swallowed by a Block Dispenser.
• Fixed problem where blocks swallowed by Block dispenser wouldn't display properly textured hit effects for certain block-types (like colored wool and Vases).
• Added flying cows and rabbits that can be worn as hats. (This was a joke making fun of the Aether mod)
