Better Than Wolves

April 29, 2011

• Added new detector rail-types: wood and obsidian, and modified the way the normal (stone) detector rails works. Wood triggers on any minecart. Stone triggers on any minecart containing something (chest, furnace, or mob). Obsidian only triggers if a minecart contains a player. (Obsidian detector rails were replaced in version 4.85)
• Changed Iron Pressure Plates to Obsidian Pressure Plates. For greater visibility contrast relative to stone pressure plates, because it makes sense that it takes more weight to move obsidian than stone (not so much with iron), to give an in-game use for obsidian, and because it's impossible to see the difference between a stone and iron detector rail (given how small the pressure plate is on the rail). [This block was replaced in version 4.85]
• Disabled crafting recipes for minecart pressure plates (since they are replaced by the detector rails), and when a minecart pressure plate already in the game is destroyed, it now drops its constituent resources so that players may recover them. Note that these blocks will be completely removed from the mod in a future version so it is in your best interest to recover these resources now before they disappear (same with the old minecart boosters).
• Completely disabled minecart booster functionality in ongoing process of phasing them out. If you haven't cleared them out of your saves yet, and recovered the resources, now is the time to do it before they are completely gone.
• Fixed problem with nethercoal recipe that didn't allow it to be crafted in any slot.
• Reorganized the way the mod assigns block and item ids, to hopefully resolve an incompatibility problem with other mods.
• Added ability for the Block Dispenser to swallow minecarts, boats...and wolves.
• Added the Companion Cube.
