BUG FIXES:

-Fixed a critical issue where a world save could be corrupted when used alongside Terrablender

(Thank you to everyone for your patience with this issue. It's been difficult to work around the numerous roadblocks that came with fixing this, but after some testing and tweaks, the surface rules of the biomes do not nest inside themselves in the level.dat folder anymore, meaning the corruption should no longer happen! The mod is not yet COMPATIBLE with Terrablender, meaning it does not need to be enabled as a require dependency for the mod (yet), but support for that will come with time!)

-Fixed an issue where Golden mushrooms could not be placed on Golden Nylium

-Fixed an issue where Golden Fungi could not be placed on Golden Nylium

-Fixed a bug where the Warped Spitter spawned a LOT more than intended

-Fixed an issue in the code of the Mushlin Spitter, so the player properly gets the variable when it defeats the Mushlin Spitter, allowing it to drop more loot

-Fixed an issue where one of the versions of the Mushin King would not attack as intended

-Fixed an issue with the Mushlin King not showing the correct textures when shooting/dying

-Fixed an issue where the axe strip sound would not play when stripping withered logs/wood

-Fixed an issue where Ghostly lanterns would not function like normal lanterns

-Fixed a bug where you could not feed the glider to max hunger while riding it

-Fixed an issue where the Heavy Nether Brick Lamp could be mined with the players hand
