What is 'unic'? Unique? Yeah - making lava related treasures is a good idea, since the nether can make those valuable! Something that enables crossing lava would be good, like a boat or frostboots-for-lava. The hang-glider is ideal for treasure, but it has a super-cheap recipe that makes it zero eff...

It's not really my mod, I've just been contributing a lot to it because IMO the Nether should be epic! If you're judging the darkness by screenshots I've posted, they have some gamma issue making them appear much much darker on other devices. However, until the nether fills with lava it can be rathe...

READ MY PAINFUL JOURNEY TO DISCOVER THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM :) thanks for investigating. It sounds like you weren't able to reproduce the issue of a portal igniting in the Nether which teleports you back to the Nether instead of to the surface? Regarding the Obsidian Block / Obsidian confusion, mi...

biomes or better yet seperate "layers" that you need to make more portals to travel too. that way you could go deeper into hell. That'd be cool, and Independent mods can already add extra layers, as nether provides access to its portals API so other mods can create their own realm portals...

yeah, the islands are effectively on a 2d height map. A 3d mode where they follow 3d "eddy field-lines" and fill a volume rather than a layer is a nice idea, and I've just added it to my wiki, but I don't expect to work on it in the foreseeable future.

This version often¹ quits when "Play Game" is clicked - something I don't recall seeing before. One way to reproduce it is to add a lua error (e.g. a syntax error) in a mod, the first time you click "Play Game" the game will fail gracefully as expected presenting an error dialog ...

Shows what the new Mantle region of the Nether mod looks like, as well as a giant crystal geode region which is not yet merged into the Nether mod ( pull request 35 ) https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=23828 Geode region start at 5:25 The locations shown in the video can b...

Crystal geode fissure / entrance

What I am trying to say: any nether gate build inside Nether should transport player to default minetest realm. But this did not happen in the case where I built a NEW gate in Nether and it would not transport me back to minetest default world. Nether gates built inside Nether transport the player ...

Thanks for the update The nether portals can be built in both directions, exactly as you suggest. If it failed to ignite with the mese crystal fragment... was there a block missing from the frame, or something inside the frame? All 14 blocks of obsidian are needed (you can't skimp on the corners lik...

Now I see an update, which is great timing so asking/reporting this issue. Assume it is something simple, but noted the depends, which are minimal so there * should not * be any conflict I would think. Thanks for the stack trace, I've submitted a fix for this - could you confirm if that works, eith...

the Mantle, deep in the nether.

Nether update release v3 now on contentdb and github. Rumours emerge of a passageway through the netherrack to a great magma ocean. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=23767 An explorer claims to know techniques which can improve the chances of locating such a passageway t...

Is it possible to launch Amidst from a desktop shortcut (Windows) with the world seed/world type as arguments or from a file? No, surprisingly. The -seed command-line option was added upstream in 2019 , but Amidst for Minetest had forked off before then. I've noted this as an issue on the project, ...

The cloudlands setting "Use lowland biomes" should be turned off in Ethereal unless you want to add new biomes. Ethereal's trees and default biomes specify their altitude ranges, so the cloudlands will be floating above the alpine line (always snowy) unless extra biomes are added at the cl...

After installing this texture pack through the menus/contentDB, I wasn't able to find it to switch it on because it was named only "12345" in a long list of other mods and texture packs.

Time to update that working name in texture_pack.conf to wilhelmines :)

Anyone still got the old textures from the first releases of this mod? The git repo has every version. If you're meaning the netherrack texture then this is the latest version which still contained the very first netherrack texture: https://github.com/minetest-mods/nether/archive/d054a4e58a7f1d5a7f...

Your edit has cleared up my confusion. Both videos are from Minetest Game with the nether mod. The nether mod provides a Portals API and currently has a dependency on MTG's "default" for lava and obsidian, so only runs with Minetest Game. Mineclone 2 provides its own nether system but that...

I'm trying to build a nether portal to reach cloudlands from ground level The answers are in the Book of Portals , which can be obtained from dungeon chests, or viewed in the help [doc] modpack (if installed). ...spoiler perhaps?... A portal to the cloudlands is built with ancient portalstone rathe...

What is the code to get a cloudland tree sapling? Currently they appear with the landscape and can't be grown from a sapling. It would be nice to be able to grow them, but they're very large and the roots go into the ground, so skytree saplings could enable mischief on servers - cleaning one up wou...

If I can expand the question... are there any projects which adapt the Minetest server to websockets? What other projects for alternative clients are out there? (I've seen some experiments in player bots, is there more?) Are there any clients, or man-in-the-middle tools, for intelligently displaying...

Client/server, or single-player?

If this is a client, could the minetest server be used to save half that work? I feel like the last 20% of these engines is 99.9% of the work, so people get "Minecraft engine" demos working famously quickly, but not a game.

I'll add a link to the discussion behind this, as this post came as a bit of a surprise and left me wondering about the intention to sunset MTG.

Would you be interested in creating a find_surface() lua function for the new floatlands? It might be handy for someone as a get_spawn_level() alternative (or override, if that's possible), but my interest in it is to include the function into portal_examples.lua in the nether mod, enabling a floatl...

Something like this but customized to be more minetest specific? https://codepen.io/jhnsnc/pen/KNyOqV That was close enough it inspired me to copy and make the Minetest 2D-Perlin tuning tool I was after.
