This release contains the following changes:
-Added sound for when Gear Boxes are being overpowered by a Wind Mill in a storm to serve as a warning that damage will occur.
-Added ability to inject something directly into something from something else. If you found the various features in the temples already, you'll know what I'm talking about :)
-Added a small grace period when the player switches dimensions in which ghasts and the enderdragon will not attack unless attacked first. This is to prevent problems with popping into a dimension and immediately getting wiped out due purely to bad luck.
-Changed Wind Mills to only spin out of control in storms, rather than just in rain or snow. This decreases the downtime you'll experience with them overall, but also means you'll have to keep a closer eye on the weather to make sure there isn't any resulting breakage.
-Changed (increased) the frequency of lightning bolts in storms to make the storm condition more evident and menacing overall.
-Changed snow and rain to look and sound less intense when there isn't a storm going to make the storm state more distinct, and to reduce the annoyance associated with the sound of rain.
-Changed HC Spawning so that if time is advanced to the next day on respawn, any storms will also stop to prevent the player having mobs spawn around them. Similar to time advancing to the next day, this only affects single player.
-Changed (increased) the chance of storms occurring to make them a more significant threat.
-Changed the way storms work, so that a storm will only start after it's been raining/snowing for awhile to give the player a chance to react to changing weather conditions. Basically, a storm won't just kick in out of nowhere from a clear sky anymore, but if it starts to rain/snow, you may want to prepare for a potential storm.
-Changed the order in which the Mill Stone processes items so that there's somewhat of a softest to hardest material order to it. In other words, cocoa beans will grind before netherrack, and that kind of thing.
-Changed (reduced) the amount of hunger that melon slices restore slightly for balance.
-Fixed vanilla problem with it not getting visibly darker during storms, despite the fact that the game logic for monster spawns and such still treated it as such (it was basically an issue of the storm state not being communicated from the server to the client). This should make storms much more evident when they occur.
-Fixed vanilla problem that was causing a delay in the transmission of changes in rain between server and client.
-Fixed item duplication bug with the Block Dispenser when failing to place clay balls.
-Fixed problem with Gear Boxes not breaking when overpowered in some circumstances.
-Fixed problem with the magic letters that flow between bookshelves and the Infernal Enchanter appearing in the opposite directions from where they were supposed to.
-Fixed a problem with how the Hopper was outputting XP orbs that was sometimes causing them to appear in the wrong locations.
Enjoy! :)
