This release contains the following changes:

-Added Hardcore Explosives to the mod. This involves several new blocks and items, and I'll leave the details for players to discover :)

-Added the Barrel as a new block type. It is crafted with 8 wood Moulding in a square pattern, with Glue in the middle.

-Added the Element as a new item. It is now required to create a Hibachi, replacing the Filament in the previous recipe.

-Added config file option to disable the mod's reliable block update code, strictly as a test for server operators. This option will be removed in a later release.

-Added ability to rotate logs on the Turntable.

-Added new recipe for cookies using Flour instead of wheat, and removed the old vanilla recipe as part of Hardcore Grinding.

-Added additional tests to ensure the mod has been properly installed and that crucial base-classes aren't being overwritten. I was getting pretty sick of the "the mod works fine with parts of it overwritten by other mods" tech support nonsense.

-Added internal functionality for add-on authors to allow custom blocks to be cooked in the Kiln.

-Changed Ender Spectacles so that Endermen will not attack if you look at them while wearing them. Note that this replaces the same functionality that used to be assigned to pumpkins. Pumpkins will thus no longer work as a means of defense against them.

-Fixed problem with the player not receiving the bread achievement after cooking Flour in the furnace.

Enjoy! :)

Wow man! You're doing great with these updates! Now to find out what these hardcore explosives might be...

Again... Thank you... holy crap... thank you.

Hehe...lots of little secrets in this release. "Hardcore Explosives" actually encompasses a rather wide range of stuff ;)

Barrels? Barrels!

*plays*

Party on morves stream?

ooh! Interesting Hardcore Explosives that it is. :) +1 for the sanity checks also.

Awesome update! Thank you.

Why yes...Hardcore Explosives does indeed encompass things such as barrels. I decided to give you guys that recipe to get you started ;)

Thank you!

another awesome and tantalizing release! now to mess with HC explosives, hope they have something to do with mining charges as i just finished making like 4 stacks of those :p

Huzzah! So this should mean that any mod that tries to use a class that BTW modifies will just straight up crash Minecraft rather than let BTW go off half-cocked, right?

Also, barrels and explosives? You've been playing Donkey Kong recently, haven't you?

this looks super cool, thanks FC.
i will try to make some time to play, i wish life would slow down so i could have a breather.

Damn, why did I check for a update just before bed.. How am I going to sleep wondering what HC explosives is?

As much fun as I had dumping random stuff into a stewing pot to figure out the recipe (did end up crafting some other stuff that way :D), I must admit I'm rather stumped on how to create the element required for hibachis. Is the recipe for it really that important to keep secret as well?

Ooh, glad to see the bread fix. :)
Now I need to update my server :L

Oh... wow! This release sounds awesome. Much to figure out!
I wouldn't expect a release now. Or a smaller one, maybe! You haven't prepared us in your dev diary so that's quite a big surprise.
As Morvelaira would say... SQUEEEEE!
Thank you for your work, Flowerchild!

New release, and one full of new features too! Thank you very much FC!

It's awesome we actually have to MAKE some of this stuff now, I thought it was stupid how easily it could be obtained.

And barrels? Can pickles be far behind? :O *a fan of pickles*

Turns out there was one component that I hadn't tossed into the pot yet. Still, considering the hibachi is rather early tech, I think it might be handy to not keep this one secret too long :P

Damned don't do that

Awesome looking update as usual. Will have to take a close look at it after the weekend. Nice job! :D

Hardcore explosives ? Barrels ?

Thanks for an endless source of fun bro :)

Awww...shucks man, you're welcome :)

I'm sure this will be pretty straight-forward for you given your background, but there will be more to come in the future given the groundwork I've laid here.

Thanks FC, looking forward to some mayhem.

Awesome! Explosives can never be enough in any game IMO, I'm looking forward to playing with this release, thanks :)
