Better Than Wolves

April 25, 2011

• Updated mod to be compatible with beta version 1.5_01 of Minecraft.
• Removed the recipe for the minecart booster as its functionality is replaced by the booster-rail.
• When minecart boosters already in a save file are destroyed, they now return the ingredients originally used in crafting them. This can be used by players to salvage any resources they may have already invested in the boosters.
• Changed code to properly register the blocks in the mod through modloader.
• Changed the crafting recipe for cement to use soul sand instead of slimeball since it is no longer used by the booster, can be more reliably found in-game (some folks seem to never be able to find slimes), and since it makes sense in terms of the logic behind the recipe. Of course, Steve is now solidifying souls into concrete, with all the moral ramifications that entails...
• Removed mods dependency on modifying TileEntityDispenser base class.
• Removed mods dependency on modifying BlockFire base class.
• Fixed problems where block dispenser would occasionally pick-up flint when removing a gravel block, and cobblestone when picking up smoothstone.
• Changed block dispenser to be able to place blocks in squares containing entities (like wolves), and to not eject a block in item-form if the block in front of it is already occupied.
• Changed block dispenser to pick-up TNT instead of triggering it to make behavior more consistent with other block types, to make construction of semi and full auto cannons more interesting (while convenient the way they were, it really feels like they should have separate loading, priming, and firing mechanisms), and to provide the player with a method of disposing of placed TNT.
• Changed block dispenser to be able to plant seeds.
• Added a slight turn-on and turn-off delay to Hibachi. Fixes a number of subtle problems with how they behave and makes their function a little more believable and consistent with the rest of the redstone elements in the game.
• Partially implemented cauldron. This feature is not complete, but I wanted to release a version compatible with Beta 1.5_01 as quickly as possible, so I disabled the crafting recipe and left it in as is. If you edit it into the game (you can't build it legitimately), it will be an entirely non-functional and utterly boring block :)
