This release contains the following changes:
-Added Hatsies for Zombies and Wolfsies Hatsies with enhanced Hoofsies and Boomsies.
-Added crafting sounds for various forms of clothing and armor.
-Added recipes for Wood Fences, involving 6 Wood Planks in the pattern other fence recipes use.
-Added the vanilla recipe for Fence Gates (4 Shafts and 2 Planks, "SPS", "SPS") back in.
-Added lower tech Trap Door recipe (2 Shafts and 4 Planks, "PPS", "PPS"), and changed the high efficiency recipe to match (siding instead of planks).
-Added the Spider Jockey origin story.
-Changed Squid to have Nothing To Worry About. Poor things were far too tense.
-Changed how wool colors blend during knitting to hopefully generate more intuitive results, and less grey.
-Changed the way health and hunger status penalties are handled internally, to hopefully reduce some client / server synchronization issues when mining blocks with such penalties in effect.
-Changed the way the early game fire starters work to make them more resistant to multiplayer lag.
-Changed the way spits work to disincentivize gamey behavior involving selectively punching blocks at various times in the early game.
-Changed the Knitting Needle recipe to require undamaged Pointy Sticks for similar reasons.
-Changed Baskets to be crushed by falling blocks.
-Changed the Hibachi to not instantly incinerate tree stumps.
-Changed several types of wood blocks to not drop intact when harvested with a Stone Axe, but to harvest whole with iron or better, for greater consistency between the various early game blocks. I tried to cover as many as possible, but given the large number involved please let me know if I missed any.
-Changed workbenches to not harvest as quickly to better communicate that they always break on removal.
-Changed Wicker Baskets to have a bit of hardness to help prevent them being accidentally broken.
-Changed Brick Ovens to not allow snow to accumulate on top of them when they are burning.
-Changed (refactored) how Zombies, Squid, Spiders, and Creepers work internally to help simplify some of the mod code.
-Changed Ghast navigation so that they're reluctant to enter water or lava.
-Fixed an issue with villagers still having a trade involving a stone furnace, even though they are no longer craftable.
-Fixed a problem where several mod fence recipes were outputting only 2 blocks instead of 6.
-Fixed problems with bricks being hardcore packed where it would take only 4 rather than the 8 bricks, and where the resulting block was created with mortar already applied.
-Fixed problem where the cracks weren't being displayed properly on Brick Ovens and Campfires when they were being harvested.
-Fixed an issue where creating Groth in a Cauldron would return a non-loose dirt block.
-Fixed problem with wolves sometimes being excessively chill about other wovles getting attacked nearby.
-Removed the Ghast spawn from Hoppers as it was never intended as a farming method, and with the removal of Ghasts from Soul Urns, had unfortunately become the default method of summoning them.
-Removed vanilla "Zombie Sieges". They didn't appear to be working anyways, were not a particularly well understood or compelling mechanic if they did, and were complicating the mod code unnecessarily.
ACK!

Thanks for the release man. Can't wait to try it out on Tuesday. Mildly concerned about the changes to zombies/wolves/etc and spider jockey's. Never getting near squids ever again though

I've only just recently got back into BTW after years of MC burnout and I have to say that I appreciate your work on a level it's hard to put into words. BTW is my vanilla now.
I selfishly hope you keep the updates coming and I'll be donating next payday.

I can't imagine anyone not feeling that way about BTW lol. After time in BTW, vanilla definitely seems dull and other tech mods just aren't the same.fluff wrote:I've only just recently got back into BTW after years of MC burnout and I have to say that I appreciate your work on a level it's hard to put into words.
