Potentially noteworthy effects:

• In 1.0.0's development, the bottom faces of blocks had the texture mirrored - when this started and when it was fixed is unknown
• Template:Bug resulted in several cases of stair UV appearing different
• Template:Bug would also have resulted in stair UV appearing wrong
• Template:Bug removed a face of stairs that cannot be seen normally
