Okay then here's a realistic minetest cat.
Since yall like the stuff I menation instead of shitposting screenshots

I like the cat but I don't think it's realistic because it is two metres high.
Is it possible to add fur shells to make the cat look even more realistic?

I assume that it is easier and it could be more interesting to implement the client. The lua API documentation, which belongs to the server, has ca. 954648 bits of information when compressed.

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 b3d, etc., such that it is...

There is "Iwaki" at the Tunnelers Abyss server, but it may not be what you are looking for. Iwaki_TA.jpg If I remember correctly, Rui made a Japanese mod a long time ago. Perhaps he/she deleted it: https://forum.minetest.net/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&author_id=1162...

But there is already "minetest-rust" so if people want a rust port: help the minetest-rust project runs asks for a migration of Minetest's code to Rust but the modified Irrlicht is still a dependency of Minetest and thus not part of Minetest's code. After a migration of Minetest's code to...

A phone CPU typically clocks much lower than a desktop. I look up the phone in question, it has only a 2.3 GHz processor. My desktop computer's CPU has a clock speed of 3.8 GHz up to a maximum boost clock of 5.1 Ghz. There are a lot more factors at play, like operating system and cooling, but I thi...

I hate your president. He nurtures global warming by making companies switch to inherently slower programming languages. Companies likely choose Python3 over Rust since code can be written faster, so they can be earlier with their boasting about no longer using C and C++.

A few years ago, I began development of a command-line script to render the distribution of mapblocks in a map.sqlite database as part of my RocketLib Toolkit. As of last week, I finally resumed work on it, and so far the results are very promising. https://i.imgur.com/PYsUwvX.png In the rendering ...

Why doesn't the banner show that Minetest works in a web browser, too? Is it hidden because the web version too experimental?

5.8 brings new high-quality shader-based antialiasing (after the old MSAA antialiasing being broken in 5.7), namely SSAA which dramatically improves the quality of distant graphics: Minetest's SSAA is low-quality in my opinion because the downscaling is not gamma-correct. In this example, the check...

Some time ago I've implemented texture-based heightmaps using a stochastic texture sampling algorithm. Perhaps it is possible to use the algorithm to add high-frequency detail to the mapgen. https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=424261#p424261 https://github.com/HybridDog/texture_noise But why...

[…] Minetest mods are usually lower quality than Minecraft ones […]

I think Minetest mods have a higher quality than Minecraft mods except those which mimic Minecraft mods.

Antialiasing methods No antialiasing: none.png New SSAA variant (scaling 8x8): ssaa_ssim.png SSAA in current Minetest (scaling 8x8): ssaa.png FXAA: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/assets/3192173/11454db6-d1c9-45ad-861d-4cee7944d4e3 "FSAA" did not work for me in current Minetest.

But can you tell me more about these "free" CDNs? I'm not familiar with them. I suspect most of them are either not very reliable - and the point of this proposal is reliability - or severely limited and want you to upgrade to go beyond certain data quotas. I'm also not familiar with them...

Instead of a file hosting service, could a free Content Delivery Network service be used to distribute large files?
And would using zsync to update already-downloaded mods, texture packs, etc. have a big impact on bandwidth saving?

I've only played the browser version of this port and I like it. I also quit due to boredom when the difficulty has maxed out.

The Minetest wiki has documentation about this topic: https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server#Protecting_your_server I would additionally protect the Minetest server with firejail: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail In Minetest, a man in the middle (Dolev-Yao attacker) can control all playe...

Did I hear PNG decoder? Modlib has an excellent, full-fledged (as in: everything that's strictly needed to properly decode & convert any valid PNG to ARGB8), battle-tested PNG decoder: https://github.com/appgurueu/modlib/blob/master/minetest/png.lua. It has been tested against Java's ImageIO an...

@Hybrid Dog, Might this be used to generate a world with Earth as the heightmap? There is a grey scale Earth heightmap on wikipedia. I've been wanting an Earth map for MT for a while, as have others, I believe. The PNG decoder can be used to import PNG images, including heightmaps, for use in Minet...
