Better Than Wolves

Version 4.35

November 16, 2012

• Updated the mod to version 1.4.4 of Minecraft.
• Added the ability for blocks of Concentrated Hellfire to burn indefinitely (like Netherrack), but in any direction (unlike Netherrack which only burns like this to the top). This provides for much greater decorative options using fire. Let the giant flaming sword construction commence! ;)
• Added the ability to grow sugar cane diagonally bordering on water, because I've always found it annoying that you couldn't, and I am a take-no-prisoners-certified-base-class-modifying-maniac. Fear my wrath puny sugar canes! FEAR ME!!!!
• Added recipe for chiseled stone brick. You can create it on the Anvil with 12 stone brick blocks in a rectangular pattern.
• Added internal hook to specify if blocks can burn infinitely (like netherrack). This may be useful to add-on authors.
• Added internal hook to specify if a block extinguishes fire above it (like an unpowered Hibachi). This may be useful to add-on authors.
• Added internal hook for when blocks are destroyed by fire. This may be useful to add-on authors.
• Changed the way vanilla fire renders so that it prefers a flammable side-surface to a non-flammable bottom surface. For example, if you light the base of a tree on fire, the fire will appear on the side of the tree, instead of on top of the dirt next to it.
• Changed (refactored) things internally to reduce the number of base class edits the mod requires, to facilitate future version updates.
• Changed (refactored) the way mechanical blocks work internally to simplify the code somewhat. This may be of interest to add-on authors.
• Changed the way fire works internally to make it easier to set which blocks are flammable. This may be useful to add-on authors.
• Changed (reverted) Mojang's "fix" to items getting stuck in blocks as it created more bugs than it fixed.
• Fixed problem where if a repeater was swallowed by a Block Dispenser, connected circuits would not always properly update their state.
• Fixed problem with the Block Dispenser not properly handling silverfish infested blocks.
• Fixed problem where mechanical devices could be overpowered from directions in which they didn't have an axle-input.
• Fixed vanilla bug that caused particles (especially torch flames) to flash all over the screen in an exceedingly annoying fashion.
