Some notes:
Almost all int x, int y, int z parameters have been changed to BlockPos class
ForgeDirection has been removed, replaced by net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing.
All FML classes have moved from packet cpw.mods.fml to net.minecraftforge.fml
Fluid Rendering has been disabled for the time being, to be re-evaulated and a test mod created for it.
Minecraft now uses a Model based system for rendering blocks and Items. The intention is to expand the model format to better suit modder's needed once it is evaulated.
As such, The model loaders from Forge have been removed, to be replaced by expanding vanilla's model format.
Metadata has been extracted out in Minecraft to IBlockState, which holds a list of properties instead of magic number metadata. DO NOT listen to the fearmongering, you can do EVERYTHING with block states you could previously with metadata.
Stencil Bits are disabled entirely by for the main Display, Modders must enable and recreate the FrameBuffer if they wish to use Stencil Bits.
Changes the updateWeather function in WorldServer to only send the
weather info to players in the correct dimension, rather than all
players on the server. This is what causes the client-side rain, as the
client believes that it has started raining locally, rather than in
another dimension.
Before calling "ItemStack.tryPlaceItemInWorld", a recording flag is turned on for
setBlock to capture a blocksnapshot for each block that attempts to be placed.
If 1 block is captured, a "BlockEvent.PlaceEvent" is fired to notify mods.
If 2 or more blocks are captured, a "BlockEvent.PlaceEvent" is fired first with the first block
captured followed by a "BlockEvent.MultiPlaceEvent" with all captured blocks. This extra event
is required for items that have the ability to place 2 or more blocks such as a BlockBed.
If either event is cancelled, the recorded block snapshot(s), item stacksize, and item meta will
revert back to the captured snapshot(s).
If the events are not cancelled, a notification will be sent to clients and block physics will be updated.
What this means for mods is Forge will be able to capture all player block placement automatically and fire
a PlaceEvent and/or MultiPlaceEvent.
If for whatever reason your mod does not use the standard placement methods then you will need to fire the
appropriate placement events in order to notify mods/servers.
This commit also includes a new utility class called BlockSnapshot which is serializable. This new class is used in conjunction with
both PlaceEvent and MultiPlaceEvent in order to record a snapshot of block space before it is altered. This
allows us to restore the block(s) if an event is cancelled. The class also provides the ability to restore a snapshot
to any location using the restoreToLocation method. This should be helpful to many mods that are looking to be able
to capture block data then restore it to back to any location required.
MinecraftForge/FML@5365f5ea3e Add IEventExceptionHandler for EventBus to allow special handeling exceptions that are fired while running an event. Events now track what 'phase' they are in during the execution process. Each EventPriority is a 'phase'. An exception is thrown if the event attempts to set its phase to a previous one.
Blender names objects with .001 ir .002 when separating vertices or duplicating objects and the importer would crash on them. This fixes the regex to allow dots in the name.
