New Blocks
Here is an overview of all of the blocks added to the game:
Igniter
The igniter gives you control over fire. When powered by redstone, it lights on fire. Light monsters on fire and watch them burn at a safe distance!
One-way Glass
This block is pretty simple: On all sides but one it looks like normal glass, but at the right angle it looks like smooth stone. Look at monsters falling into your traps when they can't see you!
Sticky Sand (And Gravel)
This allows for much easier pitfall traps, closing doors, secret passage ways, ect. When placed, it looks like regular sand but doesn't fall, and when it is powered by redstone or an adjacent block is removed, it falls just like normal sand. As a bonus, it can even aid in your sand castle making! Sticky gravel works exactly the same.
Spikes
All of the current ways of damaging players have there own problems. Lava and fire are hard to control, and cactus is has strict rules about how it can be placed. However, for the price of a few iron, spikes are placed just like normal blocks and deal damage 3 times faster the cactus and doesn't destroy the items dropped by dead creatures.
Trap Chest
One problem with traps has always been triggering them. Pressure pads is the common solution, but these are not hard to avoid if the player observant. This block looks just like a normal chest, but when right clicked on, instead of opening, the latch turns red and it activates redstone around it.

Here is a list of things we are planning on adding to the mod when we get the chance. Please note that we are begging modders, so all of this stuff may take a while as we are still figuring stuff out.
- Bug fixes - There seems to be numerous bugs, so we are going to work on those.
- Bait blocks - Blocks that attract mobs. Meat blocks will attract monsters and hay blocks will attract animals.
- Spikes on walls - So you can have smashing spike plates!
- Other types of one-way glass - one way glass made of other materials.
- Multiplayer mod - This may take a while, but we will try to make a bukkit plugin or something for this mod.
- Igniter has to un- and re-light ever 10 seconds or so.
