Now that the single feature (#1) of the initial version (v0.0.1) has been completed, and seems to be working, we can prepare a new release of the mod. As this is only for use on our server, we can ignore publishing to CurseForge and so on.

The following tasks immediately come to mind:

Clean up the META_INF/mods.toml file, which still includes some example declarations.
Create an icon for the pack and include in the resources.
Add a creative tab for the mod and insert the Ethereal Glass in there.
Tidy up the build.gradle and gradle.properties files.
Move some of the repeated terms (like utamacraft) into the gradle.properties file.

The mod information is looking a little cleaner now, with the details displayed alongside the logo in the mods page of Minecraft.

I've added a tooltip to the Ethereal Glass which describes that the glass is not solid to the player, and added a new creative mode tab just for the blocks and items in this mod.

I'm not hugely happy with how tabs are added to the creative mode inventory screen. Essentially you have to return an ItemStack which is then rendered in the tab. There's no way to just specify the image (as far as I can tell). So for the time being I've just added an item, called utamacraft_logo that has the logo as its texture. This is not ideal though.
