What do you expect? What would you consider balanced? The anvil from my cottages mod repairs all tools with the same hammer (and even the hammer with a second hammer).

Thank you for the subdomain! I've already added one for me to use in case of need.

Nice to see a mod that adds some tools to make metalwork more intresting and realistic. Did you ever take a look at RealTest? That's also pretty advanced regarding metals as such. There's a whole bunch of ores that need to be melted and turned into alloys and worked into the desired endproduct on th...

Fixed some bugs with recent versions of MT/MTG where the formspec was not shown properly and a click on "Abort" in the upgrade process led to an unwanted downgrade. Added a description.txt that lists the features. Images are broken here. It is very time consuming to add all those images ag...

In fact I tried to understand how mg_villages works. But I gave up... It would be great, if you include it. I've tried to explain that some time ago in 6.7 Adding your own village type in the Wiki on Github. Adding the buildings is much easier if the houses are saved using the buildchest from handl...

It would be great to have a common base. It just doesn't seem as if there's much support for it :-(. Some people even porpagate new "games" which do not even include default nodes and thus make it very difficult for modders to operate. It's annoying to have to deal with default:dirt, mod1:...

My cottages mod comes with a handmill and a treshing floor. Not as fancy as a modern bread maker but useful for hungry people as well. Perhaps your bread maker could be a general mixer that produces milkshakes and ice cream?

The system now has to calculate everything, when a player is on. This means a spike of calculation. And if i am good, i have combined travelboxes - and running through the whole world - from field to field - from machine to machine - everytime causing a spike.... which means a growing lag.............

To minimize the use of visible platforms the mod could determine the highest and lowest y in the area and if the difference is not too big -> settlement. That will dramatically decrease the number of suitable spots, but the remaining settlements might look more natural. My handle_schematics/basic_h...

solutions: • no clouds AFAIK clouds are completely client-side. • no day-night-modus While the change from daylight to night and back again does put a severe strain on my poor graphics card, it is to my knowledge of no relevance to the server. The server just says "day" or "night&quo...

The creative server is even less dependant on technic. It'd be great to have a replacement mod that adds the nodes but doesn't really run anything - at least not a long time after a player has last clicked.

The server has a long time ago become too heavy for my machine. But at least that was local lag only, preventing me from going to spawn. I hope that there can eventually be a way to run the server again. There's no need for technic to actually work. Maybe all power transmitting cables, all actual ac...

They're very small animals. For those, animation is in general less important than for bigger beasts like cows. Perhaps they could move their head about a bit from time to time or climb on their hind legs or do whatever guinea pigs do. Might be tricky to build them one of those little wooden houses ...

Currently working at detecting hills that can be removed in order to get more flat land for spawning houses and holes that can be filled (see paramats highlandpools):

The textures look intresting. While I don't think that the basic texture of diffrent wood types ought to be diffrent (as suggested here), I do enjoy diffrent textures. Perhaps these here can be turned into a small mod that adds some blocks for building? The textures need to be seperate files for tha...

Moving heads would certainly be nice. I'd be glad if mobs could lie down sometimes. Cows and sheep are far too jumpy. These animals ought to concentrate more on obtaining enough food and eating it for a second time. Gras doesn't run away...it's all around the animal. But it needs a long time to eat ...

It does. When I ran Minetest off my hard drive it was essentially impossible to play due to major lag spikes, turns out mapsave is pretty heavy on the random writes (which harddrives are trash at...) now I run my main client on a ram disk (don't ask) and don't have that issue. If you have an SSD yo...

so they fit well together to make villages. So many buildings...that does indeed call for a new village type for mg_villages :-) Would that be ok for you? Ah, CC0, so it ought to be no problem. I'm certain the villagers would exchange the wood types randomly and also might choose between diffrent s...

Maybe you'll like the bushes mod that's part of VanessaEs plantlife mod. If you dig those bushes, you'll get berries. The bush will remain standing and turn into a berry-less version. After some time it'll grow new berries. In order to harvest a bush, dig it with a shovel. Sometimes digging it with ...

I get good FPS, it might be your video card. This is also a known issue, mainly in heavily treed areas as there are many textures. I have been trying to optimise and lower the content. I didn't even manage to get close to any trees. I managed to swim to a nearby snow-covered island and then died. S...

The server could be very intresting. The concept of developing tools, some slow progress from easy tools to complex metalwork - that all sounds very fine. Trouble is: FPS collapse after joining the server. Steering the player somewhere, even chatting soon becomes very difficult. Latest 0.5.x client ...

The box looks promising. Please finish it. And don't rely on precise jumping please (I hate that part and abort boxes that require it).

To give you an idea of what I'd consider not enough for a real license due to the low level of creativity (although some thought went into making this a very minimalistic yet aestheticly pleasing house):

Not to worry though, there are plenty of great builders that share their builds with the community, so not a huge loss. Aehem. Solars is an excellent builder. He's creating amazing and huge cities with just mtg default blocks. That _is_ something. Something that can't be said about all creations in...

If you want to play on servers, it's currently best to use a 0.4.16 or 0.4.17 version as that one can still connect to the vast majority of servers out there. Servers based on 0.5 are still a small minority. So best install the old version in parallel.
