Biomes Mod that finds biomes in-game, for any [sub]game: Wuzzy's findbiome . The basic idea here if you want to do it yourself is to use minetest.get_biome_data (or get_biome_id or get_biome_name) in a spiral outwards. It gets more complicated when you consider height since you don't always know th...

This is not easy to do, at least generically. Minetest has four formats for images: PNG, JPEG, BMP and TGA. Images can be found inside of the engine data directory e.g. /usr/local/share/minetest/textures/base/pack, inside of mods that are part of the game, inside of mods that are loaded in the curre...

Direct source code link - saved others (and possibly my future self) from going to ContentDB or a search engine.

The function you are after that turns a string into Lua code is loadstring . But I really think that is a bad idea for security, because people could literally do anything with it, like give themselves privileges, delete areas, teleport themselves around... I would recommend you instead limit the in...

It looks like you have a separate mod called bummedbooks that copies the book code from default with your modifications. Without having a copy of that mod, it's pretty hard to tell what went wrong because "attempt to concatenate nil" is a very common error resulting from a variable not bei...

I can think of some code references for this: Player Effect Potions , since it might have implemented a number of the effects you are after. Shadow Forest , since in that game you collect items and use them to level up, which permanently changes your stats. XP Redo , since it tracks block digging, b...

The effect is even worse if you're connecting to a server a long way away. You have to wait for at least a whole round trip plus Lua processing delay before keypresses will register. This means they become more like key holds. To launch a train in Advtrains from a client in Australia to a German ser...

But there are rough spots like how the inventory formspec looks like the engine builtin-in -snip-

What would you think of this?

Well, it's a start that makes sense at least. The rounding matches the hotbar.

Would adding mob_animal to hades work? On one hand it can add a lot to the game, but on the other hand i don't know how it would work with the bioms; there might not be any spawn of animals... There would need to be a small modification to mobs animal, but after that it should work. The mobs in Mob...

I believe JP had a WIP "Camera API" fork of the engine, but he's no longer involved with Minetest. I checked his GitHub fork but couldn't find a branch for it there. His demo video is here . Since that's no longer a possibility, I think the best you could do it attach the player to an enti...

I still wish blatantly MC specific aspects could be more unique as to not be such a direct clone... As much as I have been critical of the Mineclone-family games in the past - due to their lack of originality - I think giving people a way to transition from proprietary to free software can be helpf...

This idea, as you have noticed, needs a lot of questions answer. It occurred to me to suggest that entities might still work better than nodes, since entities can be solid. You can even have rotating entity selection boxes as of 5.7. But then: Unlike nodes, there is only one selection- and one colli...

I'm afraid I think not. I only know about the listed options in lua_api.txt , which doesn't mention visual size or zoom or anything similar. You can, as Sokomine said, make the whole box that contains the model larger and smaller. But you can't scale the model itself in just one dimension. Have you ...

Attached: Old cow textures from 2016 found in git Available at Codeberg: File browser for other old files on commit 654c5407. That should have the sheep textures and the models. You can copy them over a current version. I would not use the code of the old version, it will likely not work with the la...

I don't think this is possible without modifying the engine. The same port that is listened on will be used in the announcement to the server list: server.cpp:748 if (!isSingleplayer() && (!counter || counter >= 300.0) && g_settings->getBool("server_announce")) { ServerList...

Hi! Where I can I find the latest Git repository for this API, as well as the mobs using it? I run Minetest from Git and as such prefer having all mods from it as well: My repo is very old, initially I thought this was discontinued but I'm happy to see it's still maintained which makes me feel bett...

Don't put a zip file in a GitHub repository. That's what the "download zip" feature on GitHub is for.

I don't remember harassment of sfan5 and I think he is an anime girl. Here is a photo of his face from github: With hecks it's not just having an anime profile pic, it's having skimpy anime girl avatars in the game and using them in screenshots on the GitHub, then getting criticised for that instea...

I was always under the impression that breaking changes in Minetest like this wouldn't occur within a major version (i.e. 5.x) as backwards compatibility is always guaranteed, even if features are deprecated. Has this guideline changed? In this case, newer client versions require data from the serv...

skivling on the Minetest Matrix asked: Here's an unrelated question: Would it be possible for me to trigger a specific area to load? I need to be able to read what nodes are there before teleporting a Tardis in order to change the y pos so it lands on the ground instead of in the air. I have code th...

I wish MT would simply support APNG files for textures. Me too. APNG is not a very popular format. You need a GIMP plugin just to export it. Meanwhile, you can easily see a "filmstrip" of frames in an ordinary PNG file, and I don't think it is that difficult to set up animated-texture nod...

okay. also another question. does enabling port forwarding make my network more vulnerable too? Port forwarding open the port for incoming traffic. Outgoing traffic is typically always allowed. Notice how the default Minetest port is 30000. You can still connect to Minetest servers without forwardi...

@Blockhead lol i played on some servers that uhh... have some chat that SEEMS LIKE a good place for the fbi- The internet is used by everyone: nazis, communists, military recruiters, undesirables, ... Stay safe out there :) wait so dosent this mean that if a dedicated enough hacker can... BREAK int...

I would suggest removal not as an engine change or feature but with a mod in the vein of Cleaner or my mod Riddance . The Cleaner approach would be to automatically remove any modstorage and/or player metadata entries that are part of a mod that isn't loaded. As has been pointed out, that is dangero...

But the modified Irrlicht is still a dependency of Minetest Incorrect, that distinction no longer exists. irrlichtMt was moved into the main repository in f638482 (5.9.0-dev), since the devs have been busy refactoring it, shrinking its size and scope in some areas, adding gltf, etc., such that it i...
