Minetest Forums

Visuals, sounds etc. are of course important, but they are more of a cosmetic value and imo could be easily ceded to the modders/content creators. There are some other issues that imo need to be addressed if MT is even to be an easily moddable piece of software. Modders definitely shouldn't bother a...

Thinking about it, also related: collision detection callback. Entity collision detection entirely via callback in Minetest S3. :) The callback receives both old_vel and new_vel as well as the axis of collision, so it would be easy to inflict damage based on speed. I will see about opening a PR and...

Double trouble(6)(8), big trouble(12)(10), danger(25)(12), kaiser(50)(14), biome buster(75)(16), nuke(100)(18).

Sounds so exciting... However does it obliterate creatures as well? Especially spiders?... ;)
thx

client_unload_unused_data_timeout and client_mapblock_limit

thx

It was due to the Polish version, I just don't understand Polish technical translations xD

You need to increase the 'max_block_generate_distance' setting as well as 'max_block_send_distance'. And how to prevent rendered blocks from unloading from memory? It seems to me that the interface changed in advanced options section in the main menu in the latest version and increasing time of unl...

Some of my absolute favourite terrain are the ravines on the JT2 @test@ server. These pictures, of course don't do justice to the sheer enormity. To venture through by boat is pretty epic. Definitely an other-worldly experience :) https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19381&hilit=canyon an...

Lots of options, fairly speedy, under 2 second ongen. Help, comments, or suggestions welcome. Shad Interesting, well done. I'll have to take a look at it, it potentially can provide quite a few new types of landscapes. For now I'm busy evaluating different configurations for MT mods with respect to...

Was testing the new upcoming floatlands changes and spotted a dungeon:

At first glimpse it actually looks like an undercut rocky shore reflected in the water. Nice pic.

Walking simulators... In these crazy times a perfect occasion to escape reality and relax. BTW I find MTG much more enticing than, say, Protheus (however you have to make your own playlist of favourite music first). https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=21604&sid=f5b29857427c8159...

Voronoi influenced mapgen. Voronoi patchworks are very useful in a number of real-life applications and it's a very interesting and somewhat 'natural' idea to make use of them in terrain generation. But a practical question arises about the unavoidable shortcomings of this method -- how fast is it ...

My mapgen project is making progress, I now have a simulation of erosion during pre-processing, which gives a more natural-looking terrain. Now I can say there's not a bit of exagerration in calling your mapgen fully professional. However still enjoying rambling through your Valleys, tweaked a lot,...

Nearly every men who posseses Minecraft in Poland uses it illegally (illegal software in Poland is very serious and on a bigger scale than most other countries) Yup, indeed it is. Years ago I myself enjoyed cracking some proprietary software using hex editors, just for fun and satisfaction. I think...

This is setting of parameters for Eroded Extreme Valleys. If you like a lot of mountain hiking, but don't like sea it's definitely perfectly fit for your liking :) Sea-level lakes are small and rather scarce, so finding them is always sort of explorer's achievement. Personally I find its jungle fore...

And an eye candy. This one should explain why some childish adults like me love this game ;)

V6 is a mapgen which I'd say is able to generate 'plausible' albeit not realistic worlds. The same to some extent applies to v7. I especially like caves in v6, with those walkable corridors, galleries, hidden passages, underground chambers and cloisters forking into intricate mazes. Exploring these ...

@Shad More and more interesting... keep on :) ___________________________________________________ Exploration of this world pays off -- jungles are rare (yet sometimes of considerable size), as are the sea-level lakes due to uplifting of the whole landmass -- and mostly barren terrain is just a dece...

Voxelproof, me thinks you'll enjoy this as a walking simulator. This looks awesome, I'm looking forward to the release :) ______________________________ A winter sunrise in the mountains. You can almost feel that refreshing chill of the morning breeze... https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php...

Although the jungle depicted below is a bare default, trespassing it was a pretty nice experience with a satisfying bonus of finding at last its edge after walking ~1500 nodes to the south.

I've never considered Minetest to be especially beautiful, but I took one look at this, and I was awestruck. I don't know exactly why, but this image is just incredible. Great thanks, it's extremely satisfying to see such word of appreciation :)) Frankly I use MT mostly as a walking simulator and t...

Rider Mountain


Peanut Rocks

Super-magnificent, thanks a lot :)

Tatras mountains fitted into the voxel constraints.

For me Minetest is better than Minecraft. Well, I adore Minecraft a lot, is a great and eternal game indeed, but Minetest has something special for me. But the worst thing for me is the lighting. When I play Minecraft I feel it quite diferent. The colors and light in Minetest are "sad" and "dull". ...

Werewolf player with armor Impressive xD Albeit basically I'm not interested in player's garments, this one looks really good. Btw I think that a werewolf mob would be an interesting addition to other creatures, if only he was scary enough. (Too bad armor can't be made glow) _______________________...

A nice mountain pass... https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20981&sid=b76fa25afb510e0cddaa802737685b2e ...and a mountain jungle. Traversing such terrain is a true challenge and a game itself, especially in survival gameplay with all the necessary impediments present. The rocky ...
