I still haven't updated yet, but I've had a few other games drawing my attention over the past month or so. The new version certainly doesn't help things, though; not that I need anything from it for my stuff specifically, but it's kind of frustrating to think about there being several dozen new features that we can't take advantage of yet. Hopefully Mojang finally rolls out this mod API with 1.5, so that we never have to deal with this silly waiting period again. I have been on a few times over the past few days, though.
And I hope no one minds the temporary staircase I ran up to the Fenris on the new map. I wound up with like seven stacks of wood after clearing out a tree farm that'd run rampant, so I figured I might as well do something useful with some of it. Just as a warning, though, the Fenris area doesn't seem to be set to prevent mob spawns yet, so some parts of the ship are rather infested. Dynmap doesn't seem to want to properly render the whole thing, either.
