BetterBlocks 3.7: Another Update & More Fixes
Version 4.0 (updated to MC 1.0) will be coming sometime after Jan 2 (Sorry for the delay).
This mod modifies existing blocks to either fix bugs, or add new (configurable) behaviors.

Overwriting any core Minecraft file changed by this mod with another mod will only cause loss of features, but not crashes or bugs. What features you would lose are detailed in the Installation section.

This mod will NEVER...

• Add new items (armor, tools, weapons, etc...)
  
• Add new sprites (item/terrain textures)

This mod WILL...

• Avoid using new Block IDs whenever possible.
  
• Expand blocks using the Sub-Type System (this is how slabs work in vanilla).

I will not separate this mod into smaller self-contained mods, DO NOT ASK! Instead ask for a configuration option to disable the feature you do not want.

The configuration file will auto-generate at .minecraft/mods/BetterBlocks.props (windows) on first login with the mod installed, usually even if the game crashes. There is also a default copy included in the download.

You can selectively disable modified blocks by setting the useBetter... to false.
You can also selectively disable new blocks by setting it's block ID to zero.

Some blocks have additional configuration options that are explained below in their respective sections, and in the configuration file itself.

Seeking Help

Reporting Bugs

It you encounter a bug and believe it is caused by BetterBlocks...

• Check that you are using the newest version of BetterBlocks.
  
• Check the changelogs below to see if the problem is mentioned.
  
• Check the Installation->Incompatibilities section below to see if the problem is known.
  
• Check the Future Plans section and see if it lists a fix in the next version.
  
• Check for a Block ID conflict, see below for an explanation.
  
• Reinstall using a fresh jar...
  
  • Delete your bin folder (not your saves or stats folder).
    
  • Restart Minecraft, then login, and it will redownload.
    
  • Reinstall all the mods you use including BetterBlocks.
• Finally post...
  
  • a description of the problem.
    
  • telling me you did all of the above, or I will ask before trying to help further.
    
  • your ModLoader.txt.
    
  • if the bug is visual a screenshot.
    
  • if the bug is a crash, post a log as detailed here.

Block ID Conflicts

You need to look at the .minecraft\ModLoader.txt. If it's a Block ID problem it will tell you which ID you need to change in a line looking like this

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Slot ### is already occupied by ??? when adding ???

The ### is the ID you need to change in either BetterBlocks or another mod. You can do this by editing my .minecraft\mods\BetterBlocks.props and changing the Block ID of the problem block. Valid Block IDs are any value between 100-255, you can also set the ID to zero to disable the block. However after fixing it you may get a different conflict and need to change another one.

You could also try editing the props file of the other mod, but generally you want to only change the Block IDs of the most recently installed mod, because if you change the ID of a block you've already placed in a world it will disappear (or change into something else) when you next load your world.

• Will try to rember placement information EXAMPLE...
  
  • Bridge places a stair block.
    
  • You destroy and replace it with a different direction.

• Function like doors, but look exactly like the material their made of.
  
• Only hidden wooden doors can be opened by hand, the rest require redstone.

Trapdoors

Doors

• Will open when powered, not just rotate, by looking at the blocks (and doors) surround them.
  
• Doors are now supported by the block below, and the 4 blocks next to the hinge corner. All of them must be destroyed for the door to drop.

Usability Tweaks

Minecraft Bugfixes

NOTE: These only apply to the improved blocks, so if you disable useBetterSlabs you lose the fixes that aplly to slabs.

• All blocks (fences, slabs, etc...) can be harvested with the proper tools (Axe for Wood, Shovel for soil, and Pickaxe for Others).
  
• All blocks (fences, slabs, etc...) react correctly to explosions (Obsidian ones cannot be destroyed by creepers).
  
• Slabs are much more intelligent about being placed.
  
• Various rendering bugs related to texture alignment (stairs, slabs, etc.)

Better Tools

• Should be very compatible with mods that also alter tools.
  
• Both the Axe and Pickaxe will destroy blocks that they should.
  
  • Axe: Workbench, Jukebox, Signs, etc...
    
  • Pickaxe: Redstone Ore, Obsidian, Brick, Dispensers, Furnaces, etc...

Hardness and Resistance

Installation

Compatibility

BetterBlocks is very configurable. It is possible to install BetterBlocks and disable every feature. This also makes it quite compatible with other mods by default.

However it can still have problems. If for instance you have a mod that modifies logs like BetterBlocks does (for instance Nature Overhaul) my mod will take precedence. If you want to use the other mods logs then simply set useBetterLogs to false in the configuration file BetterBlocks.props. You can do this with any block I modify.

Finally the file qs.class does not have to be installed. If you don't you will however lose variable explosion resistances (e.g. obsidian fences, stairs, and slabs can be destroyed by TNT and Creepers).

Incompatibilities

The following is a list of the mods BetterBlocks is known to have problems with, and possible solutions.
NOTE: This list only includes mods that cause the game to malfunction or crash.

• Connected Texture Mod: Sandstone component only! Will screw up textures for sandstone half-blocks, stairs, trapdoors, and doors. Will fix in next version.
  
• Zombe: Some components of this mod will cause crashing. If you know of a single one part that doesn't please report it.

[Dilla]

Wow! Very nice for a first Mod. Looks very promising. Can't wait to try it out. Especially the different Fence Connection Types.

[devilbrother2]

okay i am speachless

1. never stupid holes between walls and fences anymore!
2. fucking new fences!
3. new slabs (i know there are already some mods) but nevermind!
4. works perfect!

Great mod, keep up your awesome work, and here a notch with a diamondhat

[Jobble]

This. Mod. Is. AWESOME.

Diamonds for you:

[thegamekid1996]

DAMN EPIC!

[Fortist]

this works but iron fences and gold fences have the same texture as just regular plank fences

its probably because of fancy pack which also adds them

but could you also add snow slabs/half steps?

[Kalin_Magus]

Thanks for all the comments guys, currently working on stairs.

From what I understand FancyPack uses a separate blockID for it's fences and they should have no conflict unless it's due to both trying to use the same recipe. If you could you give me the name that's in the tool-tip (when you hover over the block in inventory) of the problematic fences it would help.

Fortist said:

Shouldn't be a problem i have one more sub-type available for slabs. If anyone has a request for the last fence sub-type i'll consider it, because snow fences doesn't make sense.

[zeRobuRn]

Could you apply this to stairs (many different types) and have them form similar to fences? Such as if you build them in a corner they will auto-form and make corner steps (both inside corners and outside corners).

= Steps

would be an inside step:




would be an outside step:

I know what the problem is I'm making a fix now. It should correct problems with other mods as well.

[Faenix1]

I know its against the first post, but anyway to add upside down stairs?





? is there any way to do that without adding in new block IDs?

[yuukikaihou]

Niceeeeeeeeee.

[Smepic]

I like that the different fences can connect to eachother, so you can make a rainbow fence

I spoke too soon, while I have increase compatibility, I have not fixed the problem with Fancy Pack.

Yes, when i'm done stairs will render upside down if their is a solid block above them (configurable of course.)

[KamiCosmic]

Ever think about adding gates?
It's something that's been suggested for a while, and it looks like you might good working with fences ;P

This would require adding a new block ID, but if I ever create another mod (MoreBlocks?) I would.

[BOX MAAAN]

That's some incredibly cool stuff, but if I play around with these, then uninstall the mod or update, will my saves get destroyed? Or will any new half-steps or fences I add just revert to a normal state?

Your saves should not be destroyed, in fact removing this mod should not cause your game to crash on world load. However any blocks I've added will likely turn invisible (but still be destroyable and have that subtle black outline while looking at them), and in the case of the stairs I'm working on you'll be able to walk through the non-standard ones.

[Kalin_Magus]

Version 2 up.

Added new stair blocks, stair corner rendering, and snow slabs.
