BWG 1.1.0 ALPHA Patch Notes

[AOCAWOL]

Welcome to alpha 1.1.0! We've got some new stuff in store for you all and some bug fixes/QOL changes! We are super excited for you to see some of our brand-new structures coming to BWG and the new Sakura Grove revamp. We're hoping to get another alpha out by next week since development is going really well!

Just a reminder you need to be a paid patron to access this Alpha build. You can become a patron at 'patreon.com/biomesyougo'
The goal of this Alpha is for players to test out our new features and give feedback on them and bug reporting.

Some things to know for this Alpha:
-There are no saplings
-We've given you access to a handful of BWG's blocks however not all of them are obtainable via survival so they are just for your creative pleasure for now.
-Not all of BWG's biomes are in this alpha but by release, we will have them all (excluding nether & end)
-A lot of our features are WIP so they might be buggy or not fully finished

SAKURA GROVE - BIOME REWORK

The Cherry Forest was one of BYG's oldest concepts and when Mojang announced their version of this biome we were so excited however this left us and our community curious about what to do with our existing cherry biome. So, we've renamed our cherry to Sakura and created a revamped version of the original cherry forest with brand new trees, and a new yellow Sakura color variant that compliments the white and pink in a fun spring pastel pallet. We would love to hear player feedback on the ground foliage and whether or not the addition of the vanilla cherry flora is liked or not.

###STRUCTURES
We've added 3 new structures in this update, each providing unique additions to some of the biomes, we would love to get your feedback on them specifically the lake structure and where you'd like to see more of these!

**PRARIE HOUSE - NEW STRUCTURE

So, this is a small structure added to the Prarie biome, it has two variations an occupied and an abandoned house. The occupied home will feature two villagers and 1 job site with 2 beds and a loot chest. The abandoned house is a bit of a fixer-upper but has some basic starter essentials for new players just starting their worlds. It is a super cute little cozy cottage that we hope players can appreciate and make their worlds feel more lived in.

**LAKE - NEW STRUCTURE

This is one of many 'natural' structures (others being the rugged spikes or the gours!) for now we are placing this structure only in the Maple Taiga since it isn't fully finished. Players can find an abundance of mud and clay here as well as some fish. We are currently working for our next alpha to add more vegetation growth such as cattails, lilypads, water silk, etc. to give the lake some more life. We'd love to know your feedback regarding this structure and also what biomes you would like to see this generate in! We can also make variants of this lake for specific biome purposes or aesthetics so the sky is the limit with these!

**RUGGED FOSSILS - NEW STRUCTURE

These unique fossils can be found around the Rugged Badlands biome and a majority of them also contain some suspicious sand for you to dig up! We wanted this structure to compliment the rugged badlands as well as give it some needed uniqueness since the spikes don't always generate.

###BUG FIXES
-Fixed Birch Planks Recipe
-Added Wood & Stripped Wood to logs tag
-Updated Ironwood Leaves
-Added Allium Pedal Blocks to be mined quicker with Hoes
-Allium Pedal Blocks can now make wool
-Fixed Borealis Ice (now changes color!)
-Fixed incompat. Crash with Terralith
-Fixed Wood and Stripped wood Not rotating
-Fix Dye Recipe

###QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES
-Updated Aspen textures to be less of an eye-sore
-Added Palm Trees to the beaches
-Added White Puffball block & items
-Quicksand now generates in the Rugged Badlands biome
