I'm gonna need you to implement a pigman repellant before I dare enter the nether...

Awesome release, thanks!

Hah! Jude Lawish voice, I'll have to put that on my résumé.
Nice teaser there Sockthing, it really sets the mood. Looking forward to the end result.

Hardcore buckets is a beautifully creative solution, and now that I play without the ability to sleep again, I realize that the arrival of beds was the beginning of me...
