Disabled the rotation of obsidian, crying obsidian, and bedrock on the turntable.
These blocks don't actually "rotate", but this disables observers and buddy blocks
being able to detect the rotation of these blocks
Bugfixes
Gave stoked fire the correct luminance value
Fixed the invisible detector "logic" block not being treated as air in some situations
Fixed some deletion logic for the detector logic block.
Shouldn't have impacted gameplay too bad, but it's a fix nonetheless
Fixed a crash when wolves try to produce dung inside of a block with no collision
Fix turntable issues introduced in 2.0.1 while preserving the block update functionality
Better With Time 2.0.1
release15 ноября 2025 г.
This is mostly a bugfix release following the big changes of 2.0
Minor changes
Tweak Buddy Block behavior to use different neighbor update logic than the vanilla observer. Still doesn't reach BTW parity, but it's somewhat closer
Buddy blocks and observers now once again trigger when a block is rotated on a turntable, even if the rotated state is identical
Added better mini block support for bamboo and bamboo mosaic
Remove the string -> wool recipe in a cauldron since it doesn't add much, and causes annoyances with other recipes using string
Bugfixes
Fixed wolves not producing dung while sitting on and next to carpet (and probably other flat, non-full blocks)
Disallowed vines from being rotated as a horizontal attachment on the turntable
Nether groth fixes (#23) - not spreading when fully grown, missing pick block stack
Added missing mirror and rotate definitions for some orientable blocks. This would cause issues when trying to rotate a Litematica schematic of some blocks
Added better saw block support for bamboo and bamboo mosaic
Renamed BWT's "Hopper" to "Mechanical Hopper" in the lang file
Actually disable the vanilla sugar recipe (it wasn't working before)
Better With Time 2.0
release7 ноября 2025 г.
Major Changes
BWT has a whole new look! Stohun's textures are now the default.
The previous textures (mostly FC originals) remain available as a built-in resource pack
Added the Canvas item, with 3 gorgeous new paintings made by Stohun, and more on the way!
Added Nether Groth
Thanks to ivangeevo for the initial bits of code on this. I rewrote most of it, but having the initial code got me through the mental block to work on this
Added the Redstone Clutch
All existing gear boxes will no longer respond to redstone. Any blocks in existing worlds that used redstone breaking will need to be replaced with redstone clutches
Made decorated pots a pottery item
Unfired decorated pots come before crucibles in the turntable chain, and do not drop a clay ball when formed (making their cost 4 clay balls / 1 clay block)
Pottery sherds can be applied to the sides of the unfired pot by right clicking on a side, or using a Dispenser or Block Dispenser
When cooked in the kiln, the result will be a decorated pot with the same set of sherds
Unfired pots with sherds cannot be pushed by pistons because they're "too fragile" (block entities), but unfired pots without sherds can still be pushed by pistons
Disabled vanilla recipes for decorated pots
Made flower pots a pottery item
Unfired flower pots come after urns in the turntable chain, replacing the mould item (RIP moulds)
Disabled vanilla recipe for flower pots
Lenses can now fire and propagate their beams through glass just as they fire through air
Rebalanced vanilla hoppers
Vanilla hoppers still work as normal, but they're now made from netherite/steel instead of iron.
The new recipe now also yields 2 hoppers instead of 1
The intent behind this change is to make BWT hoppers more enticing for certain use cases, and further incentivize netherite automation
The gamerule to tweak vanilla hopper behavior has been removed
Block Dispensers can now be powered via weak redstone power via all sides except its face
This in contrast to the previous behavior of requiring strong power to it or to the block above it
BDs, unlike normal dispensers, do not have quasiconnectivity after this change
BDs not being powered via their face is similar to how pistons are powered. This keeps most counter/clock functionality of BDs fully intact
This will break existing builds that rely on BDs previously ignoring "weak" redstone power signals
Minor Changes
Added Mod Menu compatible links, credits, and attributions.
Made Observers pulse when placed by a Block Dispenser. This is intended to make BD contraptions able to generate timed pulses more easily while phasing out the original Buddy Block
Added cauldron recipe for cake using flour in place of wheat, raw egg in place of egg. Disabled vanilla cake recipe (#14)
Added cauldron recipe for cookies using flour in place of wheat. Disabled vanilla cookie recipe (#15)
Disabled the vanilla recipe for sugar to incentivize use of the millstone
Made baby animals jump height shorter - they cannot clear a full block, but can barely clear half a block
Added some "better than nothing" support for EMI interaction with the cauldron and crucible.
Recipes shown by EMI will take the current stoked/unstoked state of the cooking pots into account
Clicking a recipe in EMI to fill the crafting area will add the relevant items into the pot.
Clicking multiple times will not stack the items, but rather will add items as a separate stack.
This was the best I could do in terms of making this work
Added a ton of "default recipe" configurations so EMI can better construct recipe trees for BWT items
Added composting values for hemp and hemp seeds
Tweaked the high efficiency recipes for pressure plates, since they were colliding with the recombining recipes for siding
When the player holds up food in front of pet wolves, wolves will now only tilt their head if they're unfed, i.e. wolves that don't tilt their head are waiting to produce dung
Removed useless nether sludge item
Added recipe for nether bricks that skips the nether sludge step, as a sink for hellfire dust and potash
Added mini-blocks (siding, moulding, corner, column, pedestal, table) for cobblestone. No idea how I missed doing this earlier
Added a recipe for sticky pistons using glue in place of slime
Renamed some IDs relating to blood wood "wood" blocks (the block with bark on all sides). This will remove all existing "Blood Wood Wood" blocks in worlds.
This was necessary for some issues with recipes and compatibility
Bugfixes
Fixed incompatibility with AdvancementInfo Reloaded (#11)
Fixed a bunch of compatibility issues with EMI
Fixed wolves forgetting that they had been fed and should produce dung when reloading the world
Fixed some EMI interactions with the soul forge. Still not perfect, but less entirely broken.
Fixed tiny behavior where shift clicking results out of a soul forge wouldn't try to merge with a matching stack in the player's hotbar
Fixed double slabs placed in front of a saw dropping 4x the results of a single slab instead of 2x
Fixed issues with the Block Dispenser when Lithium was installed
Fixed the mechanical hopper over-inserting items into composters
Fixed the mechanical hopper sometimes duplicating items in specific inventory transfer circumstances
Fixed windmills not breaking their connected gearbox/clutch in thunderstorms (again)
Fixed some issues with pulley platforms breaking into pieces when not fully supported. This doesn't mean platforms are a fully working feature yet, sadly.
Better With Time 1.9.4
beta24 апреля 2025 г.
Fix some issues with the lens and beam updating logic
Fix Battle Axe not behaving properly as a tool item
Add unverified russian language translation from Zeykehasnt
Add some tweaks from Primetoxinz to make BWT more compatible (less incompatible) with Sinyatra Connector
Better With Time 1.9.3
beta23 февраля 2025 г.
This is a purely bugfix and minor changes update to clear the way for some bigger features soon.
Added mod logo to the internal icon so it appears in mod lists
Added missing Block Dispenser and vanilla Dispenser behavior for arrow variants and soul urns
Made Battle Axe actually function like both an axe and a sword - sweeping attacks work, cobwebs are cut quickly like swords, etc
Fixed behaviors and duplication glitches for some blocks that both require a supporting block and are piston pushable (unfired pottery, hand cranks)
Lots of tweaks to detector logic blocks behind the scenes. No longer triggered by cave air, logic block changes no longer update neighboring observers, better handling when the detector is pushed by a piston
Made hibachis conduct redstone when strongly powered, so neighboring hibachis are more easily lit
Made hibachis destroy flammable blocks placed directly above them, as if immediately incinerated
Gave planter variants proper collision and outline boxes. Empty planters no longer support some blocks like redstone dust, but filled planters still do
Made mining charges require a supporting block when placed by hand, but still placeable in the air when dispensed by a dispenser/BD.
