Minetest Forums

Could you open a PR to add this to Minetest? Some core developers (including myself) support the idea, as you can see from the comments on https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/12981 Thanks! Yeah I'll open a PR now! Edit: I just opened a pull request: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull...

This is a Mineclonia Jungle using Trailgen:

Version 1.0 Time for a release! Welcome to version 1.0! I've decided to release this version as full a release putting an emphasis on 'v6-like' rather than a v6 clone, but I have made sure that v6 worlds line up a little better than before via the new Adjust Map Height(map_height_mod) option. Setti...

Hello, today I have started working on a 100% free texture replacement for all the textures in Minecraft version Beta 1.7.3 (released 2011). It would be great for games like MineClone2 because the default textures are really ugly (in my opinion). I already got most of the textures done. As of 4/1/2...

Your work here is very cool. I hope it gets integrated into the engine eventually. I like being able to have v6-style landscapes with custom biomes.

Thank you!

What is the goal of the Mineclonia project?

One of the areas where Trailgen looks similar MC worlds is the Mesa biome: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=24466&sid=527585d91bc818cabe87da214b305b4a Granted this is simply the way parts of v6 worlds are generated, but with the modern biome system in use it opens op...

Good news! Spawning is actually working now! Also the seeds can be shared between v6 worlds now, aside from from some extra dirt with grass I saw on of a small island in v6 and of course the different biome system, the land generation can now share the same seed with both mapgens. Additional note: A...

I compiled minetest-f3e51dca155ce1d1062a339cf925f41d7c751df8 (5.4.0 release) server with the latest version of trailgen as of writing this post. I did some tests using normal v6, trailgen and adding ethereal to v6 and trailgen, the biome support works great, you did a good job. All tests were done ...

The spawn code is now fixed, I tested it a few times and it appears to be working okay now.

I've been testing my Trailgen mapgen with MineClone2:

Spoiler

I will be waiting for trailtest then, I might make an attempt at compiling minetest with trailgen this weekend to see how it works. Cool! I just updated the filler depth as the dirt was a little too deep. The spawn code isn't great, I often find myself spawning underground, so I'll give some more t...

This looks interesting, what features does this mapgen bring over normal v6 ? Using the biomes API means mods that use such API to gather data would then work as expected, like the moretrees mod from VanessaE am I right ? Trailgen varies from v6 in that it puts it in league with the modern mapgens ...

Trailgen Trailgen is a v6-like Minetest C++ mapgen which uses the biome api. Version 1.0 has the option to adjust the map generation height, setting a value of 2 makes dropping a v6 world into a trailgen world a little smoother where the map types meet. Setting a value of 0 reduces, from my experie...

Hi Nota,

Thanks for the updates! My friend and I are going to start playing soon.

How will you make sure that the kids do not simply select another server (either out of curiosity or by accident)? Such an flag would be solely informational. One solution against accidental selection would be a filter option that sorts out all servers not having a certain flag set or only shows al...

I think a flag to declare if a server in the server list is specifically family friendly or not would a be good consideration with regards to parents introducing Minetest to their children. I'm going to attempt to implement it myself but I just thought I'd raise it here to see if anyone else would b...

Hi BornAgain, You can follow the readme as usual at https://github.com/minetest/minetest however at the point you're cloning the repositories for both the engine and minetest game(if you want to clone that game of course) you append '-b stable-x.z' x.z signifying the version branch you want to clone...

The server can be run by applying an option running standard Minetest:

minetest --server --world "path/to/world"

The server is also lagging a little now but earlier on it was fine.

Now my IP's been banned! RGbanned.png Edit: I've been unbanned but might be worth looking into. Second Edit: I forgot to mention that this is on your RG Survival server and it started at the new Spawn of somewhere near 285, 56, -35. I'm starting to doubt that it was you Kay that moved the spawn poin...

Just got kicked from the server by someone called REALDANNYGAMING.

Scratch that sorry, the password was remembered.

Hi Kay27,

Can you remove the protection blocks added by the user 'spawn' on your RG survival server? If you check the logs on 8/01/2021 around 17:10 GMT onwards one of the users who had access to the account forgot the password.

Kay27, do you have some screenshots from what original spawn looked like? just transparent platform in the air with ways in all 4 directions, i've some backup copies like that but really dont like to restore it over existing world so feel free to build what you want, i'll remove protectors if you'r...
