[2020/2/18] Grant a basic protector to new players the first time they craft a PoC. This is to assist new players in guarding their stuff, considering how difficult it is to find mese by mining. A future update will make these into "timed" protectors, which expire after some time.

[2020/2/6] Redesigned ambiance system for better realism w.r.t. bird/insect sounds using a technique involving entities. Unfortunately, this tecnique cannot be backwards-applied to existing trees, etc. So if you want the bird/insect sounds back, you'll need to cut down and replant your trees.

[2017/12/25] Mossy cobble can now be directly crafted into stairs & slabs.

[2017/11/19] Increased firetree fruit protection time from 3 to 6 seconds per fruit. Note that eating multiple fruit will stack the time.

[2017/9/17] Renamed bronze tools to copper tools, and adjusted tool recipes accordingly. Bronze tools were too hard to make and did not give enough value.
[2017/9/17] Voltage Transformers carry 1,000 EU per/sec now instead of 100 EU per/sec.
[2017/9/17] Tweaked mesefuel balance to restore it being worthwhile to use mese as fuel.

[2017/9/14] Brawling no longer allowed in nether jail.
[2017/9/14] Added stone sounds to cityblock.
