Better Than Wolves

September 15, 2012

• Added a new animated texture for Stoked Fire.
• Added particle effects when mechanical devices explode due to misuse.
• Added high-efficiency recipes to make different colored wood stairs out of the various colors of wood Moulding.
• Added code to communicate whether Hardcore Buckets is on when connecting to a server so that clients don't need to have the option set to the same value in their config file for buckets to behave properly.
• Added code to prevent players from being kicked from servers in SMP for flying while standing on moving Platforms or Wind Mills. I couldn't reproduce this problem myself mind you, so I can't be 100% this will resolve the problem for everyone.
• Changed (optimized) several mod blocks to consume less bandwidth in SMP. This applies to: Bellows, Nether Groth, Blood Wood, powered cake (you know you want to), Cement, Hopper, Soulforged Steel, Bloodwood Saplings, Mining Charge, Block Dispenser, Buddy Block, Detector Block, and the Turntable.
• Changed (increased) the range of Nether Groth spore release due to Steve's freakishly long arms.
• Changed (increased) the distance at which animals and villagers will continue to follow you if you're holding a tempting item. This is to help compensate for it being way more annoying to get them to follow you again in 1.3 if they lose interest, and to make transporting them long distances less annoying overall.
• Changed (increased) the speed at which villagers follow you while you're holding a diamond slightly, to match their normal movement speed.
• Changed Cauldrons & Crucibles to produce white smoke when they have a fire beneath them, instead of black, as this is far more noticeable given that fire produces black smoke.
• Fixed the Bellows not lifting entities on top of it when it expanded.
• Fixed blowing particles on Bellows.
• Fixed items blown by the Bellows appearing to jump from place to place instead of moving smoothly.
• Fixed Nether Groth spore release visual effect.
• Fixed Mining Charge explosion visual effects.
• Fixed Hopper particle effect when it is "dripping" XP.
• Fixed vanilla bug that caused XP Orbs to have an invalid position on the client immediately after spawning, causing them to be initially invisible.
• Fixed problem with the Wind Mill not displaying its warning message when there's not enough room to place it.
