RTG-1.7.10-0.2.0

Overview

This is RTG's second beta release. It might not look like much, but it's a massive update, especially if you use the Enhanced Biomes mod. All 88 of the supported EB biomes have been re-decorated to use the correct EB stone/grass/dirt (if it's enabled in the EB configs). Whilst only a couple of EB biomes have been fully re-decorated in RTG's signature style (see changelog below), the addition of EB's lovely textures really enhances the experience and is a massive step towards full EB integration.

The other big change in this update isn't something that you can actually see... but you will most likely be able to feel it, because the amount of memory required in-game has been significantly reduced, which should significantly improve your FPS. (I'm also pretty sure this will prevent those rare 'walled' biome glitches that have been reported by some users, but this hasn't been confirmed.)

Here's the full changelog for reference:

Vanilla biomes

• Re-decorated vanilla Jungle, Jungle Hills & Jungle M - I tried to keep these as densely-populated as possible, whilst at the same time allowing for the occasional chance of clearings to generate, making them easier to traverse.
• Re-decorated vanilla Savanna Plateau (thanks @Ezoteric!!) - this is still a work-in-progress, but the changes that have been made are definitely an improvement, and most certainly a step in the right direction.

Mod support

Enhanced Biomes

• Re-decorated EB Glacier, Ice Sheet & Polar Desert - with winter knocking on a lot people's doors, I thought it would be 'cool' to re-decorate some of EB's snowy biomes. (For those of you who were fans of RWG's polar desert, you're in for a real treat!)

Config options

• Added config option to customise the Bedrock block - this was a feature that was requested specifically to allow for greater compatibility with the Deeper Caves mod.

Under the hood

• Optimised a section of the codebase, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of memory required during gameplay.
