Better Than Wolves

June 01, 2012

• Added a new aesthetic block type for flint. NOTE TO TEXTURE-PACK ARTISTS: This block is intentionally visually identical to bedrock. This is to provide players with the ability to hide stashes within bedrock in SMP, and also to provide players with a way to achieve uniform flooring at bedrock level. Currently, it has its own texture in the mod's texture file, but once extended block IDs become available, it will use the bedrock texture straight from vanilla to prevent people disabling its use in hiding stuff through a texture pack. As such, I recommend simply copying your bedrock texture for your TP, as any customization you may perform now will be lost later, altering the look of player worlds.
• Changed Mining Charges to NOT convert cobble in item form to gravel. This was a design error on my part that severely devalued sand, gravel, and Mining Charges by allowing essentially infinite conversion from cobble to gravel with a single charge. This change is the main reason for this release.
• Changed Mining Charges so that it will take at least two blasts to destroy any item with one (ores remain indestructible to Mining Charges).
• Changed mobs to drop a single larger Dragon Orb on death instead of a bunch of little ones (they still contain the same total XP out of them). This is to cut down on the number of simultaneous entities in the world and help with performance.
