kMod updated to v0.8.5!

Hello fellow Minecrafters! Great news for kMod! The server mod has recently been updated, which should address the lion's share of the bugs we have been experiencing lately! Make sure to log in and check it out!

I'll update below what I have confirmed to be working or not working on the server:

Bugs I have confirmed to be fixed:

1. Opening chests with items in it now works as it should.
2. The duplication bugs have been resolved.
3. Placing blocks on yourself no longer occurs.
4. Buckets work properly now.
5. All food works as it should.
6. Eggs and snowballs can now be thrown again.
7. Ladders can now be placed properly.
8. All new blocks are now able to be placed.
9. Torches can now be placed with no orientation issues.
10. Animals are spawning normally.
11. You can now use dye on blocks and place it properly.
12. You can use dye on sheep properly.
13. Redstone is strange when the server first starts up but will return to normal working state after the server is running for a few minutes. Levers also work strange initially but work after the same amount of time.
14. HUD experience no delays or slowdowns since the latest update.
15. Boats can now be properly placed, as well as ridden.
16. Torches now properly get placed on snow.

Bugs I have not confirmed either way:

1. If you lay a birch tree, the white trees, they'll come out as normal brown trees.
2. Any other block placed on snow floats.. (Guessing this happens with steps too and floor plates.}
3. Using a bow with arrow in your inventory makes the shooting sound and decreases the number of arrows you have, but the arrows are not shot, or if they are, they are invisible, do no damage, and cannot be picked up.

Bugs that are known to be unfixed:

1. iStick is currently not working.
2. GriefAlert is not working 100%.
3. The HUD doesn't have the extra effect from the patch update where the items grow larger then shrink back to normal size to indicate you picked something up.
4. Stairs still have the orientation bug where they will only face North.

If you have updates on any of the unconfirmed bugs, let me know. I will update the blog accordingly. Also, as I get a chance to test things, I will be sure to update this post until all of the bugs are confirmed to work or not work. If you experience any of the bugs that I have tested, please let me know so I can accurately change the blog entry.

I'm sure this will make the server far more enjoyable to use at this point. I apologize that the server hasn't been 100% since 1.2, but server owners were really left in the lurch after this last update. At least the new blocks are usable at this point! Enjoy!
