Changes and additions

• Corpses of branded animals can only be looted by those people who had ride/lead permissions on that animal prior to it’s death and it’s only ‘protected’ in that manner until server restart.
• Note:
  • You do not have to be a villager of the animal brand – you just need to have had ride/lead permission prior to the animal dying.
  • People without permission cannot take, open, butcher, bury or move the corpse.
  • This protection is removed with a server restart – at that time the corpse is available to anyone.

• Right clicking on containers with drinkable liquid in them will now give you the drink option.
• Renamed shelves inside a container will no longer show the shelf item or wood type, just the custom name.
  • Shelves inside containers will now have the owner set to the creator or the last person to pick up/drop the unit instead of the container itself being the owner of the shelving.
