I didnt know this existed when i added holostone and holocobble to madblocks. One thing i wanted to do which you might be interested in doing instead is adding a switch to make the fake nodes appear/disappear, w/ a sound effect (like that 'whoosh' sound from star trek lol) haha. Well, adding a swit...

By default there is something known as ''backface culling'' that doesn't show faces of nodes that are against faces of other nodes. Anything with the ''glasslike'' drawtype should work like normal glass - take a look at the default glass and see the settings like ''sunlight_propagates'' and ''drawt...

Ideas:

1. For the fridge, along with LandMine's suggestion about storing water it in, turn the water into ice "cubes". Which with 9 of them you can make an "ice" block.

2. One word, Pipes.

3. Cabinets.

Question regarding glass

Okay, so you know how glass removes/makes transparent sides that are connected to other glass? Is there a force an update on a custom glass node to mimic that behavior to work with a normal glass node? So in a sense, when the custom glass is placed it will check for non-custom glass nodes around it ...

2012/7/3: Mod updated.

Added desert stone and sand.

Fixed code so it works on the newer version.

False blocks are now instantly destructible. (Other words, one click and you have it back)

Well, I have finally returned to minetest! And boy has it changed! Well, looks like I got my work cut out for me with my new ideas, and getting used to what has changed!

Little hint as to what it is I'm working on, it has a story line to it, and it will divert from the normal minetest ways.

Idea for wireless. Have a number on the inverter, transmitter, or receiver. Every time you punch the block it increases by one; this is it's channel. A transmitter on channel 1, is received by inverters and receivers on channel 1. We already have channels; if you place a transmitter on glass, only ...

It's possible to output more than one item. Although in minetest, one would need to somehow register every crafting, output and input.
