Better Than Wolves

November 07, 2011

• Added the Buddy Block which acts as a BUD (block update detector) with a uni-directional redstone output (facing determined on placement). The recipe consists of Redstone Eyes (1 on each side), smooth-stone (in each corner), and redstone dust (in the center).
• Added high-efficiency ladder recipe using Moulding, and a book shelf recipe using Siding.
• Added ability to convert Sticky Pistons back into regular pistons by heating them in a Cauldron with Soap (at a 4 to 1 piston/soap ratio).
• Changed compound bow to have a draw-time similar to how the vanilla bow functions as of 1.8.
• Changed the Turntable to notify neighboring blocks when it rotates, or when blocks on top of it rotate. This is to allow the Buddy Block to be used in counting Turntable rotations (particularly useful in automating the spinning of Pottery).
• Changed the way saplings grow into trees so that wood and leaf blocks properly notify their neighbours when they come into existence. This is so that they work properly with the Buddy Block, and Saws.
• Fixed a problem with player taking damage while riding a minecart on a descending Platform.
