Better Than Wolves

May 29, 2011

• Updated the mod to beta version 1.6.5 of Minecraft.
• Isolated the code for the Block Dispenser from the regular Dispenser. This was largely an internal change to aid in updating and to allow for future changes, with the only noticeable effect being that the Block Dispenser gui now correctly displays "Block Dispenser" instead of the old "Dispenser".
• Added shift-click functionality for transferring to and from the inventory of the Block Dispenser.
• Renamed Omni-Slab to the "Panel", because "Omni-Slab" just sounded idiotic, and I was beginning to feel more and more like a tard every time I said it :)

(Panels were renamed to siding in version 2.96).

• Added crafting recipe to convert 2 panels back into a block (either smooth stone or wood) by placing them side by side in the crafting area.
• Removed the ability to grind wood into wood panels in the Mill Stone, since you can now create them with the Saw, and it's really not the intent of the mill stone to be used for solid blocks like this. You can still create smooth stone panels in this manner however (at least for now).
• Fixed problem with mobs and players taking damage from sides of the Saw other than where the blade was located. Note that this will likely require adjustments to any mob-grinders that involve the Saw.
• Optimized the Water Wheel to only perform updates of certain costly aspects of its state far less frequently. Theoretically, this should allow for placement of about 20 times as many water wheels without any drop in performance. It wasn't a problem before, but now it's REALLY not a problem ;)
• Changed Block Dispenser so that it could swallow Glowstone blocks intact.
• Changed Detector Block so that it could instantly react to trees growing in front of it.
• Added Better Than Wolves themed character-skin to the download for those of you who want to show your support for the mod in-game or in SMP :)
