  • Wrought Iron Fence
  • Ominous Candle

• Added crafting recipes for the Canopy Window and Canopy Window Pane blocks and removed their WIP status.
• Added three new Naga Courtyard terraces and touched up the existing ones.
• New developer commands! If you're the kind of person that likes poking at dev toys:
  • `/twilightforest sinister_spawner` subtree containing 4 commands for changing data in a Sinister Spawner block. These commands are helpers for setting its particles and loot table.
  • `/twilightforest structure_util` subtree containing 5 commands for structure development utility:
  • `/twilightforest structure_util display_pieces <filter_structure>` generates block display entities distorted to fit each structure piece. All accompanied with labels for piece IDs.
  • `/twilightforest structure_util generator_radius <filter_structure>` generates a grid of block display entities to match the chunks that the filtered nearby structure overlaps, for measuring.
  • `/twilightforest structure_util clear_display` clears all display entities generated by the 2 above commands. Proxy for two `/kill` commands with specific entity filters.
  • `/twilightforest structure_util count_loot <filter_structure>` Rolls every unopened loot table in a structure and then counts each item from every containers' inventories in the structure.
  • `/twilightforest structure_util count_template <filter_structure>` Counts each template used by the pieces in the structure.
