This release contains the following changes:
-Added a brewing stand to witch huts and disabled the crafting recipe. The only way to find them in game now is to track down a witch hut. This was done to create a stronger association between witches and potions, because blaze rods are already sufficiently useful and tracking down a nether fortress was a requirement for most potions anyways given the need for netherwart to create them, and to provide an actual gameplay purpose to witch huts as finding them was largely a non-event.
-Added a sound to enchanting using the vanilla enchanter.
-Changed jack o'lanterns so that they go out in water in order to increase the value of glowstone as a lighting option. Note that this will not affect jack o'lanterns already in your world to avoid breaking existing builds, but only newly placed ones.
-Changed the way golems (both iron & snow) are created. They are built the same way as before, but now require a Soul Urn to be smashed against the pumpkin/jack o'lantern in order to bring them to life. I also threw in a few particle effects and sounds into the process to make it a little more interesting and less sterile. Note that this also provides a means of automating golem production should you be so inclined.
-Changed the sound on the Bellows as I didn't realize it had been changed to a click by a previous vanilla release. This also involved changing the vanilla sound code so that an individual sounds amongst a random collection may be played. I mention that last part in case it's also of use to add-on authors.
-Changed the positioning of ghast fireballs when first fired slightly so that they match up better with the direction in which the ghast is actually aiming. This should allow them to fire through smaller gaps without accidentally hitting the walls on occasion.
-Fixed problem with how vanilla computes line of sight through blocks, which affects a wide range of behavior like Ghasts randomly firing at the player with no line of sight (this should no longer happen). Note that this will likely have far reaching consequences to other systems (particularly to AI), as there were some fundamental problems with the related code, so you will probably notice slight improvements in other areas as well (like skeletons not randomly and repeatedly shooting at walls on occasion). I rather extensively refactored the related code (bordering on a rewrite) in the process, making a number of optimizations to it along the way, so you may also notice a slight performance boost.
-Removed the restrictions I placed on only being able to access the crafting table from the top in the last release. After more extensive playtesting, I've decided it was more of a pain than it was worth, and I'll instead endeavor to find another solution to the exploits in question in a future release. Sometimes these things work out, and sometimes they don't :)
Enjoy! :)
