Better Than Wolves

October 1, 2012

• Added the Stake as a new block type. It is crafted with a string on top of a wood Moulding.
• Added Hardcore Bedding as a new mod feature. This effectively disables beds as a means to set spawn position and to skip the night. This was done to encourage construction (especially of rail networks), restore the balance between day and night activities within the game, restore the impact of weather on gameplay, and to give player death more consequence. Beds are just a bad feature, mkay?
• Added Hardcore Info as a new mod feature. This removes any information in the debug menu that can be used to gain an in-game advantage, while leaving in place any info that would be used for tweaking performance and such. It also adds a new display for how close the player is to a chunk boundary, since this can be used to workaround bugs in redstone circuits due to how block updates work in vanilla, while not providing cheaty info about which direction the player is facing. Long story short: no more in-game GPS :)
• Added ability to cut wood stairs with the Saw.
• Added recipes to melt the Ocular of Ender, and Ender Spectacles in the Crucible.
• Added Hardcore Chests to the options that are displayed when a player joins a multiplayer server.
• Added a new aspect to Hardcore Chickens.
• Changed Pedestal placement so that it works more like vanilla slabs.
• Changed (refined) the tests that the Ender Spectacles use to determine if mobs can spawn somewhere to provide more accurate results. This will resolve problems like them not indicating snow as a valid spawn location.
• Changed the Crucible so that gold items are melted before iron.
• Removed vanilla recipes for turning red & yellow flowers into dyes as part of Hardcore Grinding. This may be done in the Millstone.
• Fixed problem with arrows bouncing off of mobs.
• Fixed problem with mooshrooms wearing breeding harnesses having mushrooms poke through them. Mooshrooms now convert to regular cows when you put a harness on them.
