I am making a mod that is currently in alpha but havent been doing it for a while cuz i cant find a tree editor that i have full control over making realistic trees and i dont feel like building 8 different tree structures per tree type because i am very bad at building things. Can someone help?

Update: biomes actually generate properly now

Try now, I removed the function. There will probably be no trees yet, I am trying to work out how to add trees and decorations now.

When this mod is finished, it will have over 200 biomes. It is currently in an experimental phase, comment any bugs.

wait what ? "Interdimensional alignment" ? You got me interested in there, how is that supposed to look like ? So far i'm thinking of going crazy here, adding about half of the biomes into one single biome, like finding floating islands, phased trees, maybe a couble of weeping ghostwood t...

Taiga mountains sounds nice. With this you can make a Black Forest too. :) I wish woods with big trees. Firs are 20-60m high, a wood in Central Europe should be with 20-40m high trees. The existing biomes are all with dwarf-trees. Actually, more of these have giant trees. Redwood forest has trees 1...

I am about to start working on the ez stuff in this mod.

I have added a few new biomes to the list. Check it again!!!

Thoughts on biomes..... There is/was a hard limit of 256 biomes, according to paramat. I do not know if he ever got around to changing this, but I would guess not, if it's not in the changelog. Since biomes are nothing more than a combination of heat / humidity values, (which range from -37 to 137 ...

The ones that jump out at me are: Tall dense oak forest - A proper dense forest, with tall old growth trees and tangled undergrowth is missing from MTG and modded MTG. Trees tend to be very short, or sparsely planted. It's a 'classic' biome, but so evocative of fairytales and other cultural traditi...

Interesting, then you got a huge project underway. The abyss biome suggested by Gab888 sounds awesome, if you could implement it in some way that would be nice. Also, the crater field biome is something I have never seen before in minetest, that sounds really good. Have you considered biomes in the...

Maybe chasm and abyss? Anyway, it's gonna be great ! I am not sure this is possible using current biome placements. A chasm is the same as the large caves you sometimes see underground. As for the abyss, i'm not sure I can do because that would mean 3-d biome distribution, which is not supported ye...

Those are a lot of biomes, are you planning to do them all ? Many of those have already been covered in the default Minetest Game and mods like ethereal and dfcaverns. I think the most unique ones in that list are: Corruption biomes Volcanic biomes Prairie Crater fields Crystal biomes Black peaks/m...

ooo that would fit perfectly in the corrupt biomes...

Hey, I am doing a biomes mod, let me know what yall think of these biome ideas! Feel free to suggest something!!! Biomes: Plains Flower plains Sunflower plains Shrubby plains Corrupt plains Desert Frozen desert Desert mountains Frozen desert mountains Corrupt desert Corrupt desert mountains Savannah...

I am about to make a mod that adds over 150 biomes to Minetest, but I noticed that every single biome in default has a regular, an ocean, a beach, and an underground. The regular biome is understandable, and I doubt the underground biome type is needed, but I don't want to make an ocean and a beach...

IS SOMEONE WITH EXPERTISE IN THE MINETEST API GONNA HELP ME OR NOT?!?!??!?!?!!?

I feel that one way we can improve the gameplay experience is to drop irrilicht. It is a bit buggy and also has very little options for UIs. Another way would be a change from using c++ to using c#, as c# has more options when it comes to modding or engine creation.

The only problem I see is the chests. Having only one chest within a 3x3x3 cube makes storage rooms highly inefficient. Also, only 15 blocks radius for a hoe around a barn is too limiting, try to base it in real life, like get rid of this requirement altogether.

People will be able to create shaders yaaaaay

The only issue I see with the game is that there are no mountain biomes, just randomly placed mountains, which makes basically no sense. Also, there is a lack of biomes in general. I would help but I do not know how to create a custom biome...

No, I only have one default, and it says true for the file on load_mod_default already.
