Although I love the idea of the stratification its friggin anoying when just the outmost block of an ore vein is visible in your cave and you can see the rest further in but know you can't get at it if you mine it! =)

The fishing changes sound great. Working tonight so can't try it out untill tomorrow but I hope it means you actually have a higher chance to catch fish now, if/when you do it with all the proper variables cared for that is. The part of fishing with just sitting around waiting for the bobber to bob ...

Thanks man. John Smith's has been my favorite texture pack for quite some time and was just looking for an updated version for BTW.
