Re: [Mod] Hexagonal* Prisms [hex]

Just as an example what is possible to build with this (in case anyone is interested...): Some kind of a dark tower, maybe the fortress of an evil overlord, maybe the temple of an ancient civilisation, worshipping their god of fire...

Re: [Mod] Hexagonal* Prisms [hex]

No, it doesn't cause a crash (I still play on Minetest 0.4.16, may this be the reason?).

[Mod] Hexagonal* Prisms [hex]

I once read in the Minetest modding book that before releasing a mod, one should think about whether it is useful. This mod isn't.
