    Now that so many of the engine rewrites are out of the way, they've really been moving on content.

    Really interesting that there's now a higher tier than diamond. That's par for the course in modded, but should really change up the vanilla game. I hope they add some serious challenges to overcome with it, too!

      That may just be temporary, it's weird that they'd drop rotten flesh when they aren't even undead.
