Another week passes by, another snapshot enters the launcher. We hope that you've been enjoying exploring the new caves since last week. This week, we're adding Grimstone along with doing some changes and tweaks. Happy mining!
Tweaked size and positioning of diorite, andesite & granite generation
Exception: Diorite and Granite and Dirt no longer generate below y = 0
Strongholds are now mostly encased in stone
Mineshaft corridors are now supported by log pillars below or chains above when needed
Visuals
Ores without unique shapes have been given new textures for accessibility reasons, so that each ore is distinguishable by shape alone
Being the most iconic ore, Diamond Ore texture is staying the same to keep that classic feel maintained
Blackstone, Polished Blackstone Bricks, and Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks have had some minor touch ups
Creative Inventory
The Redstone Tab has been reordered to prioritize highly-used blocks
Redstone items/blocks have been grouped and ordered in the following way:
Essentials
Unique activators
Miscellaneous
Common activators
Openables
