From 0.24 SURVIVAL TEST
 * Looking at glass now makes glass textures directly behind it disappear once again.

From 0.26 SURVIVAL TEST
 * Water and lava no longer display parts of other textures.
 * Slabs can be placed under slabs without them collapsing into a full block. (Still can't be placed on top though)
 * Top slab texture is no longer invisible if there is a block directly above.
 * Placing a block on a slab no longer causes it to become a double-slab.


 * Fixed exploit where someone logging in with an illegal name would cause players to disconnect.
