This is a 100% community driven project, we have tons of extremely talented regulars who help contribute to the pack in various ways, whether it be directly making textures, making other art assets for this post, or giving management advice to yours truly. I may have made this thread, but this pack would have gone nowhere without all the support from Eld's very dedicated fans, and to that I can't thank you all enough. I know I left this thread for a long time, and I do apologize deeply for that, but I'm here now and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon!
If you want a more direct, convenient way to discuss the pack, I highly encourage you to check out my Discord, where I've made a channel specifically for discussing the Eldpack! There is currently a Github link there if you want to help contribute, as well as an updated todo list for textures. Plus it's a good place to bounce ideas off of people and get quick feedback! The link is here: https://discord.gg/rnMsn5W
Before closing, I'd now like to introduce to you: the Wall of Contributors!! This is way WAY long overdue, but I'd like to finally give proper credit to all the people that have made and continue to make this pack possible! Without you all, this pack would have truthfully faded away years ago, so I'd like to give the credit where it's deserved 
Eld
eldrone - the man himself, of course without him this pack would LITERALLY not exist

BTWTweak is a mod that is intended to improve Better Than Wolves mod experience.
It is developed independently of Better Than Wolves and has no affiliation with its author.
Being a set of patches instead of modified class files, this mod avoids redistributing Better Than Wolves code as well as Minecraft code.
Disclaimer: As this version of BTWTweak is based upon a decompiled version of BTW v4.8911, and no newer versions of BTW were decompiled, it falls under the terms of BTW v4.8911, which do not prohibit decompilation.
Please do not post here discussing copyright matters, such posts will be reported.
Since the new patcher operates on bytecode injection basis, it can patch files without decompiling them and regardless of BTW version.

What's new?
You can see the changelog here.
Assuming BTWTweak v0.9k and Better Than Wolves 4.A2 Timing Rodent b,
(as of 24 Dec 2016) here is the friendly list of changes.
- (In some launchers may not work) a no-to-wolf icon for the program
- BTW and BTWTweak versions displayed in the corner of the main menu
- Controls configuration is now a scrollable list, and has a key binding for
sprinting (default to Left Ctrl).
- Easy difficulty is selectable again, but resets to normal after restarting the
game.
- Hardcore (permadeath) mode has optional hard difficulty, and normal otherwise.
- Achievements are now technically possible in BTW. Ideally they need an
overhaul but that's some future task.
- Spruce and jungle trees are now easier to break. This makes softer tree types
more suited for crafting, while harder ones are best left for fuel.
- Tree trunk tops textures now correspond to the type of the tree instead of
having oak texture, just like in later Minecraft versions. Stumps have correct
textures as well.
- The wooden and stone pickaxes last for 2 and 7 uses respectively, and don't
immediately expire when you try to attack mobs with them. This makes starting
(and restarting) just a little bit less tedious, and may prevent death when
pickaxe is only weapon you have.
- Stone and cobblestone breaks into loose rocks, which can be assembled together
to make cobblestone slabs and cobblestone blocks. Stone tools are now made
from loose rocks instead of cobblestone. This makes stone tools a bit cheaper,
and the first furnace a bit more expensive to craft.
- The furnace now shows whether it is full. Since ores take forever to smelt,
you probably want lots of furnaces, and now you don't have to click every
single one to figure out which one has contents.
- When you dig gravel, sometimes you get a loose rock out of it. This makes
shovel a viable choice for a first tool in order to get your first rocks.
- Flints appear only rarely in place of rocks when digging gravel and stone.
This makes flint more valuable.
- Chests are now placeable next to each other, regardless of any adjacent
double chests. Single chests will be merged to double chests as before. This
allows configurations (especially together with hoppers) that were not
possible before. Not being able to place a chest seemed like an arbitrary and
awkward limitation. Placing a chest while sneaking allows to control which
chest it combines with, or none at all.
- Eating on the ladder is now dangerous. Don't try shooting with a bow or
blocking with a sword while on the ladder either. It felt like an exploit
that you could eat while climbing ladders.
- Gloom has some nice visual effects, so you can be sure it's not that you go
insane and beat yourself to death in complete darkness. It's something else.
- If you die, a gravestone will be placed nearby, if possible. If you destroy
it, you only get one rock. This is so you can have memories of your death if
you manage to find your past gravestone. This can be disabled in BTWTweak.cfg.
- If you play with "short" or "tiny" view distance, you will see the sun and the
moon, since keeping track of time and moon phases are important parts of the
gameplay. Fog distance has been pushed back like on "normal" view distance to
let you see the ghasts that shoot at you in the nether.
- Some convenience crafting recipes, like dirt/sand/gravel slab to piles, two
cobblestone/stonebrick slabs to full blocks, book from cut tanned leather,
grinding sandstone back to sand and concentrated hellfire back to dust.
- A bunch of bugfixes. For example, you will no longer die from fall damage when
docking on a slab in a boat after a long travel. For a complete list of bug
fixes, check the changelog.
- Seeds now root themselves when dropped on suitable ground. This makes some
designs for farm automation possible in the mid game. Make sure not to lose
your first elusive hemp seeds, though.
- Chickens now drop one more feather on average. This helps reduce their amount
(and the lag caused) when you decide to breed them for arrows.
- Jack-o-lantern is now placed and dropped just like pumpkins, and if destroyed,
attempts to place a torch. This is useful for lighting up ravines. Also note
this replaces any new Jack-o-lantern behavior, such as going off underwater.
- Ladder, wooden door, sign and sugar cane no longer stops lava, so do not
attempt this if you were abusing this before.
- It's now possible to jump out of boats and minecarts (and off pigs) without
silly and unpredictable teleportation. This also could lead to interesting
contraptions with jumping out of a speeding minecart.
- If you are lucky and manage to find a witch hut (and loot it without dying),
you can use the cistern you find in it to craft a cauldron. Just add a bucket
of water and a bone on top.
- Cauldron and crucible inventory has been reduced from 27 to 9 slots, and the
interface now indicates if the fire underneath is stoked. If you want to
process lots of items, you are encouraged to make automated builds that tilt
the cauldron/crucible periodically with axle-supplied mechanical power.
- Creepers are now hurt when deoystered. Not so stoic anymore!
- Hand crank bounding box has been lowered to avoid accidental clicking and to
conform to the shape better.
- Wearing boots now makes you walk faster, but added weight from heavy armor
slows you down. Consider crafting boots first, it might help you escape death.
- Snow blocks are no longer heat-resistant and will melt in warmer biomes under
the sun or when placed close enough to any other light source.
- Spider, enderman, zombie pigmen and blazes also have a chance to drop heads.
Collect them all! Note that spider head is craftable to two spider eyes.
- Renaming items is now possible again, thanks to the new Writing Table block.
It is crafted with a piece of paper on top of planks. You can even create name
tags with it to name entities. Named entities will not despawn. You will need
Ink and Quill, crafted with glass bottle, feather and ink sac; paper,
and 1 experience level to rename stuff / make name tags.
- Written Book recipe was also changed to require Ink and Quill.
- Block of Padding now reduces fall damage, like a proper soft block.
- Cows and sheep heal when they eat grass. Punch them to teach them a lesson
every once in a while.
- Silk, crafted from 9 string (and craftable back to string) can be used to
store spider string in a more compact way.
- Now beds are made with 3 silk on top of 3 padding on top of 3 wooden slabs
and it's possible to use beds and lie down to rest, and regenerate even when
hungry. Regeneration rate is doubled and hunger rate is halved when resting.
Obviously, beds won't skip the night and won't set your spawn point anymore.
They also work in other dimensions.
- Diamond ingot recipe has been moved to the cauldron. Yep, this requires you to
burn some wooden logs under the cauldron. This is more fitting for the now
permanent nature of diamond ingots.
- Logs destroyed by fire now drop ash. Also wither skeletons drop ash. It can be
used as a fertilizer.
- Wolves now respawn in forest biome (but not forest hills) like hostile mobs.
This is mainly done to support long term servers, where no animals and wolves
left for kilometers around. This can be disabled in BTWTweak.cfg.
- Sitting wolf cubs no longer teleport to player as they grow up.
- The void fog is gone. It was annoying.
- Better microblocks: it's now possible to fill blocks to the next appropriate
shape by placing corners, mouldings and sidings: corners can combine into
mouldings, mouldings can combine with sidings to become stairs or with stairs
to become full blocks, sidings can combine into full blocks. Better yet, you
can see where exactly your microblocks will go and if they get merged!
- Sneaking now prevents falling from a rope. Rope climbing is much safer now.
- Chest, gearbox, note block, jukebox, door, trapdoor, fence gate, pulley,
bellows, ladder, bookshelf, hopper, platform, barrel, axle and saw, as well as
decorative wooden blocks like pedestal, table, bench, column can be sawed
with a bit of a loss. We all like recycling.
- The saw won't touch pressure plate you put in front of it. It was strange when
it made it pop out.
- The saw won't break anymore when facing a wool block but will produce wool
slabs.
- Ladders are now placeable on vertically put sidings, or any suitable surface
for that matter, not just full blocks.
- Torches, buttons, ladders are now placeable on backsides of stairs.
- Buttons can now be placed on the top and bottom of the blocks. Unlike new
versions of Minecraft, such buttons are symmetric. Also, the buttons are now
placeable on any flat surface, not just full blocks.
- Loose rocks can be launched with a dispenser or a sling. The sling is crafted
with a piece of cut tanned leather and two ropes on sides. Note that the price
for throwing rocks manually is hunger, and the arc they make is not really
suitable against the Ghasts.
- Thrown rocks will shatter glass blocks, or if something lands on them from
a height.
- The turntable doesn't only make smoke and clicks now, it spins visually!
- Hardcore Packing with pistons now applies to loose rocks, which makes
cobblestone, and ender pearls, which makes ender blocks.
- New enchantment: Velocity. Applied to boots, and each level of it increases
walking speed by 10%, up to 30%. Ocelots rarely drop Arcane Scrolls of
Velocity, and also level 1 of that enchantment can be found in trades or made
in vanilla enchanter.
- Hard-boiled eggs can be made from raw eggs in a cauldron. Complementary to
this, if you place an egg on a padding block with an active light block above,
it will hatch. This allows you to control the end result of eggs precisely.
- Storage blocks for Wheat, Diamond Ingot, Coal, Charcoal, Coal Dust,
Nethercoal, Sugar, Bone, Nitre, Potash, Ash, Flour (requires 9 of each).
All of them can be retrieved by crafting back to items.
Block of Bone can be only crafted by Hardcore Packing.
- Block of Flesh, squishy block made of 9 Rotten Flesh by Hardcore Packing and
uncrafted by hand.
- Block of Sawdust, made of 16 Sawdust by Hardcore Packing and uncrafted by saw.
- Block of Slime, sticky transparent block made of 9 slimeballs. Note that it
doesn't affect piston mechanics like it does in later versions of Minecraft.
- Redstone and Lapis are now handled by Hardcore Packing, and all of the
above storage blocks.
- Small BTW fixes such as correct soap, rope, padding and wicker block hardness;
Gloom now consumes player's meat, mycelium and huge mushroom blocks no longer
show swirling True Sight particles, even though mobs cannot spawn on them.
- Rails in abandoned mineshafts are rusted and won't give as much of iron
anymore. If you need lots of iron, you need a mob trap.
- On the other hand, ores are still relevant because cooking them in the Kiln
doubles the nugget output.
- Potash and ash can be used as a fertilizer for farmland or planter. It can
simply be dropped on the top of the block, like bonemeal.
- Stoked cauldron can make glue from 64 bone meal.
- Wool blocks can be boiled in a stoked cauldron to retrieve components.
- Piston can be melted down in a stoked crucible to retrieve metallic
components. More recycling!
- Charcoal texture has been backported the from newer Minecraft versions.
- It is no longer possible to escape through the roof of Nether.
- Villagers now display newest offers in the beginning of the list rather than
the end, to put an end to constant scrolling through offers.
- Dynamite is now lit with hold and thrown with release of a button. This makes
throwing dynamite more precise and much more fun! This feature is dedicated to
the good old Blood 3D game.
- Cobblestone and stone drop in cobblestone blocks if destroyed by a soulforged
tool. Like in good old times.
- Pressing the hotbar key of already selected slot will cycle items in the
corresponding inventory column. This is configurable in BTWTweak.cfg.
- /playtime command that can be used to track the age of the world, and how
long you've kept being alive.
- New key shortcut, default on R, to open the chat with "/tell " + last told
username so you can chat easily in private.
- Sign posts now accept unicode characters.
- Chat now accepts IME input and messages can be 256 characters long.
- Improved font display for latin and cyrillic scripts when unicode font
is chosen. That includes a fix for wider characters.
- Removed the annoying inventory shift when player has effects/buffs.
It was getting unbearable when running in and outside of a beacon range.
- If you install over CraftGuide, it will be patched so it works from the
inventory screen and compass and clock stop displaying real data in its GUI.
- When disconnecting, the player entity is removed only after 60 ticks
(3 seconds). This prevents exploiting initial invulnerability by
repeatedly disconnecting and connecting in dangerous situations.
Make sure to disconnect only when safe from now on.
- Before installing, make sure your cauldrons and crucibles don't contain more than 9 items, as this mod reduces their inventory to 9 slots and the rest will disappear.
- Before installing, make sure your buildings aren't made of snow, as this mod makes it melt from heat.
- Backup your worlds!
- If playing on a server, both server and client must have this mod installed.

https://github.com/grompe/BTWTweak/releases/download/v1.1/BTWTweak_1-1.jar
What's new:
- Fixed compatibility with BTW version "4.AACK".
- Fixed harvest cracks still not showing on wall signs.
- Fixed Glass Block not properly supporting falling blocks.
- Fixed ladders placement while standing in the same block. This was broken
since BTW 4.A8.
- Changed lily pads so they can be placed in one block deep water.
- Changed CraftGuide recipes for baiting and bow disassembly to ignore
durability.
- Changed Mycelium to also spread to loose dirt.
- Changed chisels to be effective on sandstone.
- Added a stoked crucible recipe to turn mossy cobble to regular cobblestone.
- Fixed minecart with chest being uncraftable since BTW 4.AABABABA.
- Added ability to repair armor by crafting a wool, padding, leather, or
tanned leather armor piece together with material used to craft it.
- Added CraftGuide recipes for torch merging and armor repair.
- Changed bed recipe for BTW 4.AABBBbbb+ to require 6 knit wool and 3 wooden
slabs to make it more relevant in early game.
- Added new crosshair to indicate when it's possible to ignite the held item
with the block you're pointing at and vice-versa. Also added another three
placeholder crosshairs for possible future use. This might be of interest
to texture pack creators: don't leave these spots blank.
- Fixed resource loading in accordance with the path new Minecraft Launcher
provides, as well as the new download location. This fixes the problem of
missing sound and music.
- Fixed skin loading by replacing the old download location with the use of
proper Mojang API. The skin files are now saved in "skins" directory, and
capes are saved in "capes" directory. Skins are loaded once per program
launch. If the saved skin is 1 hour old or less (or marked as read-only),
it won't be loaded from the web service.

Hi Uristqwerty! I'm extensively using your mod and its API, so this may be of interest.
For compatibility with Better Than Wolves mod, I went ahead and wrote a patch for CraftGuide that makes it compatible with latest BTW version and keybind to work in inventory screens.
I also I made an integration module that lists recipes for "multiple output" crafting such as log chopping, pumpkin carving, bow disassembling; fishing rod baiting; piston packing; revamped sawing (the original had only two output slots which was not sufficient); and finally, a whole new system for village trading: BTW had no good way to extract the trades as they're done by code, and I didn't want to keep a static copy of the data (for all versions of BTW, too), so I made a script to analyze the villager code and patch data during the installation process.
I found the API you provide quite convenient, except for the task of filtering and fixing up some of existing CraftGuide recipes:
there is no API way to duplicate and/or change the recipes that are being filtered, so I had to resort to accessing private fields ugliness.
I'm also probably using it weirdly by not including any of the API class files and using reflection instead!
Thanks for your very helpful mod!

Released BTWTweak v1.0 for Better Than Wolves!
https://github.com/grompe/BTWTweak/releases/download/v1.0/BTWTweak_1-0.jar
What's new
- Fixed compatibility with BTW version "4.AABBBbbb".
- Fixed furnace patch that made it retain some heat while without fuel and
reset cooking when the item is switched. Now also works for brick ovens.
- Fixed render patch for harvesting cracks on chests, ender chests, wall
signs, beds, beacons and cocoa beans. This was missing since BTW 4.A9.
- If CraftGuide is found in the minecraft.jar, it will be patched to show
BTW recipes again in BTW 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH and later.
- Added integration with CraftGuide, which means recipes involving chopping,
baiting, knitting, piston packing and villager trading will be displayed.
- Furthermore fixed CraftGuide recipes, no more outdated info, revamped
saw recipes and adjusted hopper, turntable, kiln recipes.
- Added F9 key to increase system brightness up to three times; F10 to reset.
- Added an ability to combine burning crude torches in crafting.
- Removed very rare zombie spawn with axes for BTW 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH and up.
- Removed compass-specific render from the item frame for compatibility with
BTW 4.AAABBBA and up. This makes compass inactive when inside the frame.
- Changed chests in BTW 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH and up to be harvestable again,
when using an iron axe or better.
- Allowed crafting regular furnaces again for BTW 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH and up,
with netherrack surrounded by stone.
- Adjusted written book recipes for BTW 4.AABABABA and up.
- Adjusted sand yield from milling sandstone for BTW 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH and up.
- Added a millstone recipe to turn zombie and pigmen heads to rotten flesh.
- Changed mob spawner to also convert loose cobblestone into moss stone.
- Changed stone to drop without changing strata when harvested with a chisel.
Darker stone still acts like regular stone in crafting.
- Added soulforged steel chisel to help harvesting stone at lowest strata.
- Added adaptive crosshair to indicate whether current block is harvestable
with current tool, or partially/more efficient with current tool, and to
indicate proper weapon ready to hit the enemy, and viable fishing spots.
- For BTW 4.AABBBbbb and up, changed nitre block to be crafted only with
piston packing to be consistent with flesh and bones in that version.

Released BTWTweak v0.9n for Better Than Wolves!
https://github.com/grompe/BTWTweak/releases/download/v0.9n/BTWTweak_0-9n.jar
What's new
- Fixed axes not harvesting logs properly due to incomplete BTW refactoring.
1
If you load a world that had BTWTweak but not anymore, its specific items and blocks will disappear from the world. I'd recommend making backups.
Released BTWTweak v0.9m for Better Than Wolves!
https://github.com/grompe/BTWTweak/releases/download/v0.9m/BTWTweak_0-9m.jar
What's new
- Fixed compatibility with BTW version "4.A7 Squid A Swimming".
- Patcher now reports BTWTweak version at startup and patching.
- Fixed occasional severe hunger loss while climbing ladders and ropes as sometimes server thought it was continuous jumping.
For BTW versions before 4.A7 Squid A Swimming:
Coincidentally, fixed sprint-jumping not exhausting player more than regular jumping, which made bunny hopping more efficient on food than simply sprinting. The hopping tactic to quickly and safely traverse the desert is much more costly now.
- Skipped boat fall damage fix as it is now implemented in BTW.
Previous versions of BTW still get the fix.
- Skipped pet growing up teleportation fix as it is now implemented in BTW.
Previous versions of BTW still get the fix.
- Made it so ladder prefers to be placed in the same orientation as a piece
above it or below, when aiming at a side that cannot support ladder.
- Added smoothstone stairs to microblock merging.
- Made carved pumpkins fall just like the regular ones and Jack-o-lanterns,
and also Jack-o-lanterns to extinguish when facing water.
- Made it possible to hook items and non-damageable entities with a fishing
hook. This should make fishing rods more interesting and useful.
1
Released BTWTweak v0.9l for Better Than Wolves!
https://github.com/grompe/BTWTweak/releases/download/v0.9l/BTWTweak_0-9l.jar
What's new
- Fixed extraneous attempts to integrate with Deco addon.
- Changed creepers to stop hissing sounds when sheared or killed. It was
strange hearing the hiss after there is nothing to hiss (with).
- Fixed not all stumps being hard enough.
- Fixed compatibility with BTW version "4.A3 Headed Beastie" and "4.A4 Kiloblock Boon".
Unfortunately, due to ID clash, old BTWTweak spider heads will turn into
infused skulls. Get rid of spider heads before upgrading to avoid this.
- Fixed Minecraft crash when loading an unknown language. It is usually
caused by sharing options.txt with a newer Minecraft version
(option "lang" is lowercase "en_us" instead of "en_US").
- Fixed iron pickaxes being too effective on dark stone.
- Fixed wolves/cats teleporting to player as they grow up while sitting, for real now (MC-28440).
- Adjusted microblock merging so it won't happen while facing the saw.
- Added bark note to the note block that stands on top of a companion cube.
Now it is possible to recreate Dogsong in Minecraft.
- Changed scoreboard sidebar to be shown only when player list key is held (default Tab).
- Fixed certain duping methods by removing zero-stack glitch items.
- Changed rails and iron bars to smelt by one.
- Changed stump remover to stack to 64.
- Added some more blocks and items to creative tabs.
- Restored the effect of swiftness potion. Apparently it is possible to
build a witch farm in a specific way to gather swiftness potions, and the
motivation to do so was killed by removing the effect.
- Renamed vertical wind mill to "Vertical Wind Mill" from just "Wind Mill".
- Turned off generation of debug textures ("debug.stitched_*.png") on game startup.
It was slowing the startup for no good reason. If you wish to reenable this, put the following line in BTWTweak.cfg:
writeDebugTextures=1
- Now it is possible to rename chests, furnaces, dispensers, brewing stands with Shift+right-clicking them with a name tag.
Also it is possible to edit sign posts by right-clicking them with Ink and Quill.
- Fixed configurable Hardcore Spawn radius so that increasing it will push populated villages and similar structures away accordingly.
Decreasing it, however, won't bring them closer.
- Fixed newly generated single chests not having collision box set.
Chests that already exist in the world won't be affected, though.
- Made thrown rocks destroy vases. While at it, added chain explosions for vases with blasting oil.
How was this not a feature yet?!
- Changed egg hatching sound at incubator to something more appropriate.
- Disabled GUI auto-closing when inside portal. Looks like it served no
other purpose than to annoy people and help trap them inside the portal.
- Added an ability to take all items from a container GUI by pressing Space (jump key).
This will only take items from simple and non-crafting slots.
Installation notes
- Before upgrading from older version of BTWTweak, make sure you don't have any spider heads in your world, as they will turn into infused skulls due to ID clash
- Before installing, make sure your cauldrons and crucibles don't contain more than 9 items, as this mod reduces their inventory to 9 slots and the rest will disappear.
- Before installing, make sure your buildings aren't made of snow, as this mod makes it melt from heat.

I heard that recent MacOS has tightened security and created a bunch of inconveniences for the users. (As usual, the more inconvenient it is, the more "secure" you should feel!). It seems to request the .jar file to be signed. I don't see it as necessary. Thankfully you also found a way to actually run it.
Damn, I see you got tripped up by the sloppy patcher interface, to patch minecraft.jar you actually had to press "c". Displaying letters and asking to press a number is silly, will be fixed for the next version of BTWTweak. Although your minecraft.jar had to have BTW installed inside for this to work, and seems it didn't, as you managed to run vanilla and break your world with it. Sorry about that!
This is exactly why BTWTweak modifies Minecraft main menu, displaying versions of mods in it in the corner. So you wouldn't accidentally load a world in a wrong version. Unfortunately, It's harder to distinguish pure BTW and vanilla at a glance, they both just say "Minecraft 1.5.2".

It is caused by a bug. The boat accumulates "fall distance" to fatal levels while bobbing up and down, so make sure not to hit the land vertically. Trying to dock on slabs is the most common scenario of this death.

Released BTWTweak v0.9h for Better Than Wolves!
http://www.mediafire.com/download/gqgzam9g3v3xes1/BTWTweak_0-9h.jar
What's new in 0.9h:
- If CraftGuide is found in the minecraft.jar, it will be patched so the
guide key works on inventory screens and displays recipes involving the
item under the cursor. I find it interesting the code was there all this
time yet unable to execute due to a bug.
- Added key shortcut for quick usage of /tell command for quick and
hassle-free private messaging on servers. Default on R. It will open the
chat with "/tell" + last told username.
- Fixed possible server crash when loading a corrupted world where chest tile
entity does not match the chest block.
- Fixed problem with falling out of the world causing an infinite loop if
gravestones are enabled.
- Improved microblock preview: now it supports additional microblocks from
add-ons and displays only when the block placement is not obstructed by
player or other entities.
- Added recipes for joining nether brick slabs and white cobble slabs into
blocks.
- Fixed problem where ladder couldn't be placed when standing in the same
block even though the player did not intersect its collision box (MC-9704).
This also allows placing microblocks when partially standing in the target
block; the preview feature was adjusted accordingly.
