This release contains the following changes:

-Added a visual indicator of whether some storage blocks contain items.

-Changed the way Raw Mutton looks in order to make it more visually distinct from Cooked Mutton.

-Changed the name of Coal Dust to better communicate its use.

-Changed how fire renders internally to hopefully help with issues with some texture packs.

-Changed the starter chest to be less so.

-Changed the Grate and Wicker Pane recipes to require Wood Moulding rather than just Shafts.

-Changed the way torches work internally so that they're added to your inventory in a more intuitive manner and to hopefully reduce or eliminate the flicker that would occur sometimes in SMP.

-Changed some log types to not be fully transparent to light.

-Changed some dirt slabs to be able to combine with grass slabs.

-Changed Shafts and some torch types to be crushed by falling blocks.

-Changed chest minecarts to not be quite so chesty.

-Removed the Workbench from villages.

-Removed generated torches in villages and abandoned mines.

-Removed the early game glass recipe.

-Fixed problem where using the number keys to swap items to the hotbar would sometimes cause the relevant slots to display the wrong item.

-Fixed a problem with blocks under destroyed snow not always rendering correctly.

I suspected as such :) thank you for your hard work, man. You make games feel rewarding again. (and scary)

fire renders properly, grass slab overlay texture is used, Deco addon works. Thank you!

Woot! Well, that is all good news. Thanks for letting me know :)

Hey! Thank you so much! <3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Lovely changes, especially big fan of the mutton change and removing the glass temptation :)

The mutton change is a huge relief. I was starting to feel really dumb, I had so much trouble comparing those over the campfire's light that I was ready to only consume chicken!

hilarious

Thanks particularly for the slab changes.

Murdered by a wolf, then suffocated in a wall... Are you sure this isn't AAAAHHHHffff? :)

Confirming that my flames are now corrected as well. Thank you, FC.

BTW, when you first posted these radical changes, for a day or two, i thought you'd gone a step too far and that the game had moved beyond of my skill range.

Nothing could have been more incorrect on my part. I think I'm in love with this game all over again, possibly more than ever. Plus, as was said by someone else, the early game is now so interesting that i can keep myself from rage quitting.

most times.

Lol! Looking at the change log, there were quite a few exploity things I wasn't taking advantage of :)

Hehe... I didn't realize a few of them either. That's what happens when I watch tens of hours of people playing :)
