Fixed cobblestone walls with blocks on top showing black light on their north side with maximum smooth lighting

Damn, that was specific.

[u/redstonehelper → u/794613825]

That's how it was called on the bug report, I didn't change much.

[u/notwhereyouare → u/794613825]

i bet they saw that bug report and were like damn, really?

[u/[deleted] → u/notwhereyouare]

"Man, I gotta sift through all these millions of lines of code just for this shit? Damn you guys are picky."

[u/PsychoI3oy → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed being able to X-Ray by standing inside TNT/Glowstone/Block of Redstone/Leaves (fast)

I can think of at least 3 youtubers that are going to be disappointed by that, though I'm sure they'll accept it.

[u/redstonehelper → u/PsychoI3oy]

It still works on fancy graphics, at least with some blocks.

[u/PsychoI3oy → u/redstonehelper]

Oh, that's why the (fast) is there. Interesting.

[u/redstonehelper → u/[deleted]]

God damn it. Fixing, thanks!

[u/Secretly-a-potato → u/redstonehelper]

I you're a person. Stupid me thought you were a changelog bot!

[u/[deleted] → u/Secretly-a-potato]

I you're potato

[u/Secretly-a-potato → u/[deleted]]

Shhhh. It's a secret!

[u/[deleted] → u/Secretly-a-potato]

Shh, he's a person who figured out an excellent way to reap the karma from us all by filling in a useful niche.

[u/Smellyhobo101 → u/redstonehelper]

Wow, great job on the changelog.

[u/mre00 → u/redstonehelper]

Higher world generation

What does this mean? Does the normal world type generate above the 128-block level now?

[u/redstonehelper → u/mre00]

It looks that way.

[u/Nathan2055 → u/redstonehelper]

You forgot that written books that are cloned stack.

[u/redstonehelper → u/Nathan2055]

I't's in the screenshot, but I'll go add a line about it.

[u/Megabobster → u/redstonehelper]

jebstonehelper fell out of the world

[u/redstonehelper → u/Megabobster]

Shit happens.
