Minetest Forums

Guess that depends on how much time people have in RL. That may vary over time. Don't give up hope! There are still great things added now and then. It's just not possible to be hyperactive all the time I'm afraid.

Newer versions of MT have a collection of checkboxes at the right side when creating a new world. If you disable all, you ought to get a very flat and empty map.

It's also the only mapgen—flat excluded, of course—that has not at least once spawned floating landmasses (too unrealistic; ruins the immersion for me). I feel similar and don't like those floating islands either. I still prefer v6 mapgen because that creates very small-scale terrain which is IMHO ...

I want each item to be in the inventory which cannot happen with hardware coloring. That's no problem with hardware coloring. It does get complicated when you want to cut those blocks with the circular saw - because full blocks can support up to 256 colors while facedir nodes from the saw can suppo...

I play since 2016 on Xanadu and my hard work to collect items every day and build my house has been destroyed! Without the screenshots I'd have said that your portection might have "expired". It sadly sometimes does on Xanandu. Even though some players build amazing houses there, it's not really a ...

Nice buildings! Thanks for sharing the screenshots and keeping a server alive in memory.

Can maps be corrupted if they are copied as data is being written to them? I remember reading how to close the database to make safe copies, but I don't remember where or how. Some help? In theory I think so, yes. If you can, close the world (i.e. do not run an active Minetest on it) before doing t...

Sounds very intresting. Can you please add a screenshot? I've been working on (straight) roads for some time now as well. It works relatively well in v6 but utterly fails in situations where the terrain doesn't really allow a road to be built that way (floating mountains and the like). Also mapchunk...

Very impressive to see that so minimal a setup can be enough.

Looks like the mod registers a new node for each color? That's a bit much. I think hardware coloring would be a better solution here.

If you would explain the way what to do to reproduce the lack, I would do my best to fix it ASAP. I already tried to fix protection checking for TNT. When I tested the chests and the furnaces they seemed to be okay, but I might be totally wrong. Ah. They seem to be protected now if the area is prot...

My moresnows mod can put snow covers on plants without destroying them. Perhaps that might be a solution for this mod as well? However, digging one snow or plant may still trigger the snow on the entire field falling and then also destroying the plants :-(

FPS before the update where well on the 60fps and now it drops almost to unusable levels, Same here. Yesterday, FPS soon went to zero(!) in a new world, and the client became extremly inresponsive in other worlds without anything much going on. Set the setting `mcl_node_particles` to `none`. Thanks...

Player names removed from the map because I don't want to make this gift for the griefers anymore. That's usually what protection is for, and you do have a protector mod installed :-). Still, the lack of locked chests (and probably unprotected furnaces) remains - but that's something MCL2 is lackin...

You might get hired for creating public mines :) (after beeing teleported to the appropriate depth :))

Looks very nice! I like the clean design of the menu. The decorative elements around the menu box look nice and fitting.

I'm very curious and hope to see this on servers soon (no point in singleplayer where there's always day in my worlds).

I see lots of YouTube videos using mese, and lots of screenshots on this forum that show the use of mese. Did all these players actually dig all the way down to y = -512 or even y = -1024? Mese was available at higher levels in the past. IIRC it started at -64, with full blocks at -1024. And yes, p...

I am a father here trying to help my young son find a server to play on. He loves this game, but some users keep following him and destroying the houses he works on sometimes leading to a meltdown. I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done about that. Most serious servers have some form of protec...

https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=22619 Can we declare this to be a new, great, art-like game and be done with it? It certainly looks crazy enough and is most likely also intresting from the coding perspective (getting the textures properly aligned). At the same time it is v...

You seem to be expecting that a mod you write should work in most or all games Probably not in all - but at least in most and in as many as possible. Different games are often completely different universes, with different ways of doing things To the player, gameplay may vary considerably, but behi...

Regarding the snow drifting idea: Perhaps no raycasting at all is required for that part. Snow on the ground might just wander in the direction of the wind using an abm/lbm. Still wouldn't be able to get through doors or other such nodes as they'd be other blocks than air, and my trick in moresnow w...

Hello everyone, I was just curious to know if anyone is currently playing on a server? Many people are :-) You can get a list and also quickly join a server by clicking on "Join Game". Is it just minetest or are there some other mods thrown in for fun? Most servers use their own selections of mods....

I found an updated mod and installed it. Now it does not crash the game on startup now. How ever now it does not build the .we file only partially with 80-90% of the building missing. Anyone with any ideas how to fix this problem? I've located and fixed the bug now. It happened when mg_villages was...

@T6C - Cabbages give a 1 in 5 chance of giving out 2x cabbages, and if you use the mithril scythe it will harvest and replant a new cabbage effectively giving you a chance of 3 in total :) Ah. A use for the mithril scythe. Still...cabbage isn't such an expensive..thing...in RL. Can't be that diffic...
