Sub Biomes

• Sub biomes are when a large biome (such as the forest) are broken up into smaller differentiated themes

• The forest is now split up into:

  • Lush Forest (Oak trees, green grass)

  • Regular forest (Pre 0.10 forest)

  • Autumnal forest (Maple trees, pumpkins)

These biomes are mostly cosmetic and have very minor gameplay differences. They inherit all the content from the main forest biome, hence the name Sub Biome.

Pumpkins

• Added Pumpkins

• Added Pumpkin Seeds

• Pumpkins grow in the autumnal forest sub biome

• Pumpkins can be obtained in old worlds through crop mutation

• Pumpkins have a unique model for each growth stage

• Added carving knife, can be used to carve a face into a pumpkin, with 5 faces to choose from

• Pumpkins can be shaped, there are small, medium and large pumpkins

• Carved pumpkins can be toggled on/off by right clicking or entwinement

• Has a special painted texture

Misc

  • This effect can be disabled in the settings menu

• Added monster spawning items

  • These are items in the creative inventory that let you spawn any creature in the game (yes, that one too)

• Added Monster Spawner block

  • This block is configurable for map makers so they can control how monsters spawn

  • This block will be expanded upon in the future, the current implementation is very basic

• Added terracotta tiles, crafted with clay

• Added Ritual Torches that do mysterious things...

• New Forest ambient effects

  • Butterflies spawn around tall grass

  • At night, fireflies appear around tall grass

  • Leaves and plants now sway in the wind

Changes

• New forest dungeon textures

Technical

• Significantly increased terrain rendering performance on systems that are not bottlenecked by fillrate

• Significantly reduced OpenGL calls by caching some of the GL state on the CPU

• glUseProgram and glBindTexture are now only called when a change of state is required

• On my own system, the terrain rendering has been sped up 6x, from ~6ms on average to ~1ms on average

Fixes

• Fixed monsters and players being able to clip into blocks

• Fixed fences connecting to some non-full blocks

• Fixed an issue where light sources that break when they lose their supporting block leave their light behind
