Bug: You can run boats on land. I know, I didn't care about that yet. The only way to solve this would be extending the collisionbox down. Hey, interesting concept, applying advtrains to boats. But I have a question: Why exactly are you depending on advtrains_train_track? This mod only registers th...

Means of Transport Tracking Lines This is a simple mod based on advtrains which adds lines that can be ridden by means of transport which don't require rails. Currently, only boats are implemented. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20385&sid=ac759d8db3b5797f6a275b09c...

Today we opened our first automatic boat line. It leads between Sigterm and Grapeyard Superb.
Here is a view from the boat. Each boat can carry up to 10 passengers.

Digtron scootering :D

Tunnelers' Abyss was at 5.0 from the beginning. Even though it uses a forked engine, I rebased it twice during the runtime. Well, it wasn't a big problem though, because the only modification is addition of a custom mapgen.

This makes sense, thanks!

Does the command /deleteblocks delete the mapblocks from the database entirely or it only marks them as invalid? I deleted everything in range from (7000 -23000 -1000) to (10000 -11500 1000) by 1km thick layers, from bottom to top. Deleting one layer took up to a few minutes, so it must have been de...

Thank you all for ideas. At least I'm sure what it means.

My server logs are full of messages such as: 2019-10-17 06:04:20: WARNING[Server]: ServerEnv: Trying to store id = 0 statically but block (-233,0,349) already contains 64 objects. I have tens of thousands of these in my logs. Does anyone have an idea what it actually means and what it is cau...

Signs Extra Hello Everyone! https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20279&sid=6583ea2b2a0549a7bc2892bcbff54131 This is a simple extension of Display Modpack. It adds two signs: blue banner and billboard. License: lGPL v.3 Dependencies: default, dye, signs_api Download: htt...

I found the commit message which is supposed to contain three good reasons: Split underground biome to correspond to surface biomes In preparation for biome-defined: dungeon materials, cave liquids, stone type, ores, decorations. '_ocean' biomes now extend to y = -255 to be deeper than default mgv5 ...

You made a tasty mod ;) Note that you don't need any dependency for crafting recipes, not even the optional ones. If a crafting recipe requires an unknown item, it won't be even shown in Unified Inventory. Also, you can ask whether a mod is going to load even if it's not a dependency. Did you consid...

Well, interpolation is not a simple thing. There are many methods of interpolation and much advice what to do but none of these methods are perfect and each of them is good for different purposes. There are some methods to interpolate pixel-art. However, to interpolate pixel-art correctly, you also ...

I prefer the textures after grafx update. Nice work!

Today I'm opening a new track from Big Vosek to Desert Trap, a new destination in Prim's Land. It's 4.2 km long single-rail track. It is operated by a new line Erosion Trap which leads from Red Erosion to Desert Trap. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20038&sid=8630d5...

I advice you to download mods using git clone. It has many advantages, such as: ⋅ Updating the mod is as easy as typing "git pull". ⋅ You can easily make sure that your local copy is the same as the copy on the server. ⋅ You never need to remember where you fo...

Today I heard that Minetest staff has the right to remotely shutdown any Minetest server. I can't imagine how this can even happen. Does Minetest code contain a hole by which it can be shutdown? And what if I patch it? And is it all even true?

These are only default ores: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=19949&sid=d4bf98ce312f9f04489a75beb8456f23 I made a modification in which only the cave walls are generated and the rest is generated after it gets visible. And the result is: World size is 3 times smaller...

We have a new map

Well, a different compression method might be also a way. However, the information might not be present at all when nobody would use it. For time efficiency: The cave walls will be generated during mapgen, so the mapgen might just take a little more time. Or maybe even less because all ores will be ...

I noticed that caves with water or lava pool might exceed to neighbour mapblocks but I never noticed any new cave being generated during gameplay.

Who knows...who knows...Ever wondered about all these dirt-, sand- and stone mobs?

As long as they don't own the plot, it's not a problem.

TumeniNodes wrote:caves are constantly generated (even unexplored caves) this is, as far as I recall a known issue.
I could be mistaken though

What do you mean by caves being constantly generated? Do they generate in already generated mapblocks?

I think, caves don't cause much entropy. If you take a mk2 prospector from technic and set it to a common ore, you can notice that the veins are scattered everywhere.

Deleting unused mapblocks is also a perspective option.
